The series dedicated to the latest Fondazione Giorgio Cini publications resumes in spring.

3 April 5pm

The first presentation will feature the book Pietro Bertoja, scenografo e fotografo edited by Maria Ida Biggi and produced as part of initiatives promoted by the Veneto Regional Committee for the Celebrations of the Centenary of Pietro Bertoja’s death. The book documents his career as stage designer and photographer and highlights his complex role on the theatre scene in the second half of the 19th century.

9 april 5pm

On the second date the focus will be on Antonio Vivaldi. A life in documents, a book in which Mickey White presents the biography of the great composer through a chronological series of original documents, supplemented by copious annotations. Her work describes the figure of the composer very clearly in his musical, family, religious and social settings and provides an accurate picture of his personality and day to day life.

10 June 5.30pm

The last book launch will be devoted to Scultura nei giardini delle ville venete. Il territorio vicentino, a book on villa garden sculpture, promoted by the Fondazione Giorgio Cini and the Regional Institute for Venetian Villas with the support of the Fondazione Giuseppe Roi. The book illustrates a rich, interesting but little studied area of Veneto art. The province of Vicenza is particularly well endowed with this kind of sculpture since it is the area with the largest number of Venetian villas and, therefore, related gardens.
