Superior quality Books and Events in Venice

guglie — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 10:52:01 +0000

In Venice, San Marco 3717, you may find the editorial company Lineadacqua that, with more than 20.000 books sold every year, is an an innovative company whose philosophy is founded on the idea of a combination of diverse elements: quality and innovation, culture and passion, friendship and fine wine. Lineadacqua’s products include books and events of superior quality, both in content and in form. Some examples are “Venice Food and Wine” of M. E. Chojnacka, an unique trip in the the preparation and enjoyment of seafood in Venice, a city on the sea and of the sea; for Venetians the sea has historically represented nothing less than freedom: freedom to move by boat through the city and beyond, freedom from invasion, and freedom from hunger. The Venice of today is a mix of tradition and innovation, and this book is a celebration of that combination. With its recipes and reflections on fish and wine, this book offers you the chance to bring a bit of Venice into your kitchen and onto your table. And as you enjoy these dishes with family and friends, remember that you are sharing in the story of the Adriatic Sea, its bounty, its history and its crown jewel, Venice itself. And again “When Venice Floods” of Giannandrea Mencini, dedicated to the Venetian tides; because of its exceptional morphology, built inside a lagoon, Venice has always been sensitive to this happening. The city is deluged by water several times a year, particularly between October and February when low pressure and cyclonic disturbances are more frequent. For all the others books we invite you to visit www.venicebooks.it, we remind you that all the books can be bought in the Hotel Alle Guglie as well, and that we are more than pleased to let you have any information you need about our prices and special offer for the next seasons.

Zoran Music, Extreme Figure at Palazzo Franchetti, Venice

guglie — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:48:22 +0000

The city of Venice is paying a tribute to Zoran Music, the Dalmatian artist considered among the most important personalities of the Twentieth century, with a great exhibition hosted at Palazzo Franchetti from 3rd December 2009 to 7th March 2010. ‘Zoran Music. Estreme figure’ celebrates the one hundredth anniversary of the artist’s birth and it is made of more than eighty works, among which oil paintings and works on paper, some of which are unknown and exhibited for the first time. In particular the latest thirty years of the artist’s painting career are the object of a study, when his stripped representation has become extreme. Music’s works, going through nearly all the last century, actually show, in their rough and simple mark, a stripping journey towards the attainment of the essence. Unfailing are the images of an interior and extremely intimate Venice, where the artist lived after the end of the Second World War, alternating it with Paris. Venice is the town where Music feels free and which, in his latest years, appears as enveloped in an ink darkness or in the orange glow of an oil pastel: there are the evocative visions of the Punta della Dogana, the Canale della Giudecca, the Molino Stucky and St. Mark’s Square.
