The Fondazione di Venezia (Venice Foundation) has brought part of its collection to Rome, a selection of works featuring paintings, glassworks and photographs to retrace the phases of the century-long relationship linking Venice to the Biennial.
This exhibit is a new opportunity to display the rarely accessible Fondazione di Venezia collection to the public and to promote it as well. Rome’s Museo Carlo Bilotti is re-proposing the history of the collection assembled by the Fondazione di Venezia, a history documented by approximately fifty paintings including outstanding works by Boccioni, Ciardi, De Pisis, Carena, Casorati, Depero, Cagnaccio di San Pietro, Marussig, Vedova, Santomaso, Pizzinato, Tancredi and Plessi.
The exhibit also features approximately 30 Murano glassworks, acquired from the historic Venezia pavilion, created by legendary glasswork masters and illustrious artists and designers such as Tapio Wirkkala, Carlo Scarpa and Paolo Venini. A selection of photographs opens the exhibit, a collection of photographs of the leading exponents of 20th century art, often portrayed while setting up their space at the Biennial. These photographs arrive from the archives of photographer Graziano Arici and the De Maria archives of the Fondazione di Venezia.
Grand Hotel de La Minerve, 5 star Luxury Hotel, located in the heart of Rome, a few steps from Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain and facing the Pantheon, offers plenty of packages like for example the Special Week-end Rate which includes an American buffet breakfast and much more.
