The Giorgio Cini Foundation is a place where, for seventy years, great artists, writers, philosophers, poets and musicians from all over the world have left traces of their own research in the name of beauty and the vitality of culture. Every year, the Giorgio Cini Foundation provides the general public a programme where historical collections and research into contemporary thought come together and address the rest of the world. Now you too can become part of this noble tradition, thanks to the Cini Ambassador Membership Card.
Becoming a Cini Ambassador means year-round priority access to the events organised by the Giorgio Cini Foundation on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore and to the collections of the Palazzo Cini Gallery at San Vio. Members will also receive special invitations to openings as well as an exclusive programme of guided tours.
