Venice
Biennale and the undiscovered side of the ancient city
In this specific trip, dedicated to the exploration of modern art and gastronomy, Venice will open its borders to the guests as a stage for the constant battle between the eternal and the temporary, the old and the new. Under the guidance of a prominent art critic, the participants will have the opportunity to see the most notable works from the Venice Biennale, and, relying on their own perception, will be able to appreciate the ways in which artists react to the modern era of change. The gastronomical programme of the tour will allow clients to get to know local cuisine in its many different forms: from the classical trattoria to the experimental set menu brought to you by Michelin Star chefs.
WE WILL DISCOVER
– how Peggy Guggenheim introduced so many genius artists to the world, relying on her intuition;
– what the curator of the Biennale thinks about the epoch of change and what roles the Belgian and Ghanaian pavilions play in it;
– how the concept of the Italian family restaurant has changed and where do the Venetians go for the best pasta;
– why, in 2015, the architect Matteo Thun began the restoration of a historic hospital.
