History
English term or phrase: Corporazione delle Arti
Florence has an ancient tradition of craftwork: sculptors, leather goods makers, blacksmiths and goldsmiths. The powerful ***"Corporazione delle Arti"***, controlling each craft, operated according to strict rules and only the legitimate children of a member could join the profession. In this way, art and techniques have been handed down through the generations to the present day.

Does "Corporazione delle Arti" equal to the English word "guild"?
Thank you in advance!

Chinese translation:工匠行会 - 艺工行会
Explanation:
"corporazione delle arti" is Italian.
Your guess is right, its meaning is craft-guild (corporazione is a guild, arti are the different crafts) I am not sure about the translation into Chinese, but I think you have to specify that this is a guild related to crafts (as opposed to merchants, that here are not included), maybe 艺工行会 or 工匠行会 can be a solution, but I repeat, since I am not a Chinese mothertongue, you might make a better translation.
Bye :-)!
