Weekends at the Palazzo Cini – 26 ”“ 27 September; 3 ”“ 4, 10 ”“ 11, 17 ”“ 18 October
As of next autumn, a series of exhibitions dedicated to the most signiï¬cant groups of drawings in the Giorgio Cini Foundation collections will be held at the Palazzo Cini at San Vio. Admission will be free at weekends, allowing the public to also visit the permanent exhibition in the Palazzo Cini Gallery. The general public will thus have the opportunity to explore the Foundation’s collections and, at the same time, appreciate the value of the research work carried out by the Institute of Art History, also documented in various catalogues. The occasion for the ï¬rst exhibition has been provided by the publication of the general catalogue of drawings in the Donghi, Fissore and Pozzi collections. The exhibition will present a selection of ï¬gure drawings plus a group of architectural designs by Giacomo Quarenghi, who was largely responsible for the creation of Neo-classical St Petersburg, and two drawings by Federico Zandomeneghi, a Venetian painter who befriended the Impressionists in Paris.
