"VENEZIA FRA GUERRA E ARTE, 1866 - 1918
Opere di difesa , patrimonio culturale, artisti, fotografi "

Giovanni Rossini is the curator of the new exhibition opened at the Museo Correr, dedicated to the history of Venice between 1866-1918. In the exhibition we will found about two hundreds works amongst drawings, paintings, rare ship models and monuments, besides sculptures, photographs, original military outfits, coming from 24 different institutions, from museums and from private Italian and Austrian collectors; a range of documents that illustrate an unknown but very important historical period for the social-economical development of the city and its relationship with the newborn nation. The critical choice of curator is the divisions in thematic and chronological sections: from the works of fortress and defence under the Austrian power (1815-1866) to interesting paintings of Giovanni Fattori and of Ippolito Caffi, that became excellent visual documents of the unification of Italy and the birth of a new identity. An extraordinary rebuilt of the Basilica of San Marco in miniature as it was in 1918 and the paintings of Bucci, Cascella, Morando, Sartorio and Italico Brass, represented the last section dedicated to First World Warm.

"STAGE DESIGNERS TO FENICE 1792-1902"

At once with the re-opening of the theatre The Fenice, one of the Italian architectural jewel, it is possible to see an exhibition dedicated to the stage designers who worked into the theatre between 1792 and 1902. We can admire drawings (pen and crayon) and watercolours, with the splendid painted scenes of the Neoclassic and Romantic period, that with the first opening of The Fenice(1792) have been part of many important operas as: Attila, Rigoletto, the Traviata and Simon Boccanegra. Many works of this exhibition are a property of the Gabinetto of Drawing of the Museo Correr, that numbers amongst his best "pieces": Tranquillo Orsi, Francesco Bagnara, Pietro and Giuseppe Bertoja. The Fondazione Cini has lent some drawings of F. Fontanesi and of P. Gonzaga, and for the success of this exhibition the contribution of the Biblioteca of the Casa of Carlo Goldoni has been fundamental, wich has allowed the show of many original librettos of the Fenice.

"Giorgione. Le maraviglie dell'arte"

An exhibition dedicated to Giorgione (Castelfranco Veneto, 1478-Venezia, 1510) has opened at the Gallerie dell'Accademia, an event that will be hardly repeated. The exhibition shows the restoration of the Madonna in trono tra San Liberale e San Francesco, better known as Pala di Castelfranco (1505); it is an important occasion to appreciate together works coming from different foreign institutions like Museum Boijmans van Beuningen of Rotterdam, and the Kunsthistorisches Museum of Wien. It is possible to admire the Tempesta, the Vecchia, the Nuda, Cristo portacroce of the Scuola Grande of San Rocco, the big decoration of the Fondaco of Tedeschi, the Tre filosofi, the Laura, the unique and most certain drawing by Giorgione, the view of Castel San Zeno in Montagnana and the sitting figure (visible for four weeks and just for few hours every days, because covered up during the intervals). Considering that the complex of Giorgione' paintings is no more then 25, the nine works exposed make this event quite exceptional and unique in the last fifty years.
