In Venice art is the norm. Since eight centuries every single brick and every single column of a common house or a sumptuos palace, just like very single step of the countless bridges, breathes history of art.
Some of the great painters were Venetians-Tiziano and Giorgione, Lorenzo Lotto and Tintoretto, and the great Giovanni Canal known as Canaletto, the most famous landscape painters in history, forefather of the Venetian School followed by his nephew Bellotto, Marieschi and Guardi.
This summer international art is everywhere, as never before, non only inside the great palaces turned in wonderful museums- Peggy Guggenheim, Palazzo Grassi, Palazzo Ducale, Punta della Dogana, Fondazione Cini, Accademia, Università Ca’ Foscari and many others- and as well the interior of hotels and palaces which, for the first time offer halls and communal areas for exhibitions, open to the public, to receive works of famous and unknown artists who can, this way, use the most international window in order to become recognized by the most cosmopolitan audience.
Many exhibitions, a very rich and innovative Biennale, and the white night of art, with museums, galleries, bookstores and cultural associations open at night. International contemporary art discloses itself mixed together with Venetian tradition giving birth to a triunph of contemporary creativity enriched with a very ancient art setting.
Enjoy your stay, surround youself with beauty in the most enchanting set in the world, Venice.
