Art night Venice 2012

Enjoy a free evening of art, music and entertainment as Venice’s most prominent arts and cultural institutions swing open their doors.



A crescent moon, shaped unmistakably like the metal prow of a gondola immersed in a sea of indigo is the symbol chosen for Art Night Venice, scheduled for Saturday, June 23rd 2012.

From sunset until late at night the whole city will become an open air show, and several events - of all sort of arts, including music, cinema, literature and poetry - will attract art lovers around the canals and along the Grand Canal, which will turn into a fascinating stage.

Museums, galleries, foundations, public and private venues will swing open their doors and leave free entry to all who want to discover their secrets. Even the bookshops will open their spaces to visitors, and all the shops will stay open until late.

It will also be a way to know the city from other points of view: under the starry sky of the lagoon city, you can explore the hidden Venice and lesser known works of art.

VENICE CARNIVAL 2012 (till 21 February)

The CarnivalRe-launched two decades ago, the Carnival was immediately regarded both in Italy and abroad as an event not to be missed.
Venice Carnival is steeped in history, charm and tradition: its inhabitants and tourists alike have taken a keen interest in it, thanks to its mix of transgression, art, history and culture in one of the most unique cities in the world.
During the ten days of Carnival leading up to Mardi Gras, Venice is a hive of activity and entertainment, from improvised street entertainment to performances put on by the organisers.
A central idea is chosen each year that is taken from various cultural or show-biz themes.
Saint Mark's Square remains the heart of Carnival, with its huge stage, although other events take place throughout the city, helping to avoid an excessive build-up of people in pedestrianised Venice.
----------------------

HistoryThe Carnival has its roots in many traditions, from the Latin feast of Saturnalia to the Greek feast of Dionysian cults. The Venice Carnival lasted for a few months, with public festivities, private parties, fireworks, street entertainers, and this certainly helped to create the image of Venice as a city dedicated to pleasure.
-----------------------
Carnival in the 18th centuryDuring its final century of power appears concentrated on life's more exterior and frivolous pleasures. During this period Carnival, with its parties, entertainments, masks, theatres and public gaming house, became a tourist attraction for the whole of Europe.

-------------------------
The theatresVenice's theatre season was the richest in Europe thanks to the many theatres in the city: Sixteen theatres were active in the 17th century.The Goldoni Theatre and the historic Malibran Theatre take centre stage during the mixed bag of events. The Fenice reopened in 2003 offering first-class performances after the completion of lengthy and complex restoration.

--------------------------

The MasksDuring the last days of carnival the city teems with people in masks who happily invade streets and squares in search of fun and getting themselves noticed. It's possible to see every kind of costume, from static and icy 18th century noblewomen to the most inventive modern costumes.
---------------------------
Traditional sweetsThe traditional sweets of the Venice Carnival are Frittelle and Galani, which are symbols of the Carnival itself

Venice Carnival from the 11th to 21st of February 2012

"LIFE IS A THEATER. IT’S TIME TO GET MASKED"

The Carnival of Venice 2012, renews the city’s ancient ‘liaison’ with its spectacular performances- the staging of the Commedia- which had its own unique historical relationship to the famous masks of the Carnival.From the 11th to 21st of February, and with a colourful preview on February 4th and 5th, we are going to celebrate and remember Venice as the ancient capital of modern theater - with over 25 active theaters throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth century. Furthermore we are going to recall the sense of disguising: the discovery of a new "character" of our personality through the wearing of a costume. We want the festival to turn into a major event of performing arts, in which each visitor of the city becomes a protagonist of this famous Festival that is a fundamental part of our country’s cultural heritage.The city of Venice will be the host of different scenic shows and events in main Campos and on the Grand Canal featuring concerts, live performances by international artists and mask parades. The Carnival offers a daily and diverse artistic program in the Grand Theatre of St. Mark's Square and in dozens of other public art spaces from early in the morning until late at night. Put on your mask and we will see you in Venice, where life is a theater!

COME WITH US TO THE REGATA STORICA

Venice, Sunday 5th September 2010

The friends of the Honey House are organizing on Sunday 5th September, day of the great Venice Regata storica, an appropriate stage to be watching to the magnificent event, directly on a “bragozzo” (the typical fishing Venetian boat) docked in Gran Canal. The occasion is unique, for an event unique that has always embraced citizens and visitors alike. The first historical evidence dates from halfway through the XIII century and is linked to the "Festa delle Marie" (the Feast-day of the Marys), but it is probable that, in a city like Venice which has always been projected onto the sea, the regatta had earlier origins, dictated by the need to train rowing crews. Even now the Regata Storica is one of the most spectacular, picturesque and moving events of Venetian life, capable of both charming the tourists and exciting the locals. A historical procession commemorates the welcome given to Caterina Cornaro, wife of the King of Cyprus, in 1489 after she renounced her throne in favour of Venice. It is a procession of 16th century style boats, with the famous Bucintoro, the boat representing the Serenissima, at its head. Then comes the competition. The spectators participate with gusto and shouts of encouragement during the sporting events. EMBARKATION 1.00 pm, disembarkation 7.30 pm, 30 euro each one

The Redentore Feast in Venice

Saturday 17 July 2010
The Redentore is one of the Venetians' most treasured festivities, and is a tourist attraction thanks to the spectacular firework display in the evening. It falls on the third Sunday in July, when Holy Mass is held in the presence of the Patriarch, followed by a religious procession.
But the special moment of the festivity takes place on Saturday night: with the unbeatable backdrop of Saint Mark's Basin, a play of lights and reflections produce a kaleidoscope of colours with the silhouetted spires, domes and bell towers of the city behind.
The weekend ends with a gondola regatta.
The story
In the three years between 1575 and 1577 the Serenissima was tormented by the plague: aided by the high density of the population, the disease spread through the city, causing terrible losses. Almost 50,000 died, which was more than a third of the city's inhabitants.
On September 4, 1576, the Senate decided that the Doge should announce the vow to erect a church dedicated to the Redentore (Redeemer), in return for help in ending the plague.
On July 13, 1577, the plague was declared definitively over and it was decided that the city's liberation from the terrible disease should be celebrated on the third Sunday in July.
The Redentore today
At sunset the well illuminated boats, decorated with boughs and coloured balloons, begin congregating in Saint Mark's Basin and the Giudecca Canal. In the boats people eat traditional food, waiting for the firework display, which begins at 11.30pm and lasts until after midnight.

MODERN FORMS in Venice

In Venice an exhibition dedicated to the sculptures of the Cà Pesaro Collection

Until 25 July the prestigious venue of Cà Pesaro in Venice presents an interesting exhibition dedicated to sculpture: “Le forme del Moderno – Scultura a Ca’ Pesaro. Da Medardo Rosso a Viani, da Rodin ad Arturo Martini”. This exhibition features some thirty works belonging to the famous Ca’ Pesaro sculpture collection, a completely new tour which focuses on formal values and unusual combinations.
The exhibition winds through sumptuous spaces of the Longhena entrance hall on the ground floor and the monumental second floor recently restored to its museum function. Finally we can see works that have been inaccessible to the public for so long. On the second floor you will see different and intriguing relations presented between sculptures and paintings, starting with the grandiose frieze by Giulio Aristide Sartorio, the “Cycle of Life” created for the Italia Pavilion of the Biennale of 1907, and equally significant large canvases figuring in a continuous study of associations and dialogue between expressive forms and languages.The exhibition is not only a perfect proposal for recovering and remodelling the museum, but the first event of the Ca’ Pesaro 2010 Program, almost entirely devoted to sculpture.
Opens from 10 am – 6 pm (ticket office 10 am – 5 pm); closed Mondays.Tickets: Admission to the Museum 6.50 Euro (Reduced 4 Euro)

The Vogalonga 2010 in Venice Lagoon

36TH edithion – Sunday May 23

This event originated 36 years ago with the aim of making Venetians aware of the problem of swell created by engine-powered boats, thanks to the initiative of a group of Venetians who were lovers of rowing and of the traditions of the "Serenissima". Since then the number of participants, especially from abroad, has continued to grow, with entries totalling up to 1500 boats. In the morning a large number of boats of every type and shape gather in St. Mark's Basin opposite the Doge's Palace to await the start; they then set off on a roughly 30 kilometre long course that winds its way among the lagoon islands before returning to Venice along the Rio di Cannaregio to finish at the Punta della Dogana. The success of this event not only encouraged the creation of rowing clubs but also stimulated the then dying crafts of boat restoration and construction. Participation in the Vogalonga, a non-competitive event, is also an opportunity for everyone to rediscover the lagoon, its landscapes and its habitat.
