A museological approach and a museological system, both of them with a modern and original scheme. After the total restoration carried out over the last few years, which led to the reorganisation and updating of the museum system, and after the complete restoration of the collections (which cover a chronological scale spanning 700 million years, with two million exhibits; zoological, entomological and botanic collections; fossils and anatomical preparations, as well as ethnographic collections, “wonders”, and a library containing forty thousand works), another important phase of the new refurbishment has been finished. What is opening to the public today in one of the most famous palaces in the city, the Fondaco dei Turchi, that is radically restored museum, on the one hand reclaims and develops its scientific and educational tradition and on the other appraises and proposes new tools and methods in terms of its contents and the exhibition layout.

Zoran Music, Extreme Figure at Palazzo Franchetti, Venice

guglie — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:58:00 +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.

Sensation 2010, the Venice Carnival

guglie — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:25:38 +0000

The Venice Carnival is the most important and largest Venetian festival, a sparkling cocktail of tradition, entertainment, history and transgression in this unique city and a festival that attracts thousands of people from all around the world every year. The Carnival has very old origins, in fact it celebrates the passage from winter into spring, a time when seemingly anything is possible, including the illusion where the most humble of classes become the most powerful by wearing masks on their faces. The official start of the Venice Carnival dates back to 1296, when the Senate of the Republic made the Carnival official with an edict declaring the day before Lent a public holiday. After an interruption lasting almost two centuries, the tradition of Carnival was rediscovered by the Municipality in 1980 and since then it has taken place every year with huge success. The Venice Carnival 2010 shall be a “Sensation” Carnival again: to be heard, to be seen, to be touched, to be tasted and to be imagined. A new Venice Carnival, concerning the five senses plus one, the mind, thought as the place of the soul: each sense will be located in a Venetian sestiere with the sixth one in St. Mark’s Square directly. Our Hotel Alle Guglie, being in Cannaregio district, shall be in the middle of the sense of “taste” that shall be the focus of the food and beverage events in all the sestiere, with lots of presentations dedicated to the theme along the streets and just in front of our hotel and the Guglie Bridge. This Carnival format will keep of course the events of its tradition, such as the flight of the Dove, the Feast of the Maries and all the streets and palaces fantastic and exciting parties but will decisively break off with the past as well, with the aim to join the city to all the sensations and feelings of the people. Should you want to have additional information about the Venice Carnival Sensation 2010, fell free to contact our team at the Hotel Alle Guglie; we shall be all more than pleased to provide you with the official program and with our best offer to spend an exciting break in Venice.

Leonardo Da Vinci: The Vitruvian Man between art and science at the Accademia Gallery, Venice

guglie — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:49:51 +0000

In Venice at the fabulous Accademia Gallery and after seven years since its last exhibition people has now the opportunity to watch the well-known Leonardo Da Vinci’s drawing “The Vitruvian Man”, that has the right to be the icon of Western civilization. The drawing has been stored at the Gallerie dell’Accademia since 1822, when the Austrian Government bought it, from the collector Giuseppe Bossi who published it in 1810 after centuries of oblivion. The world-renowned Leonardo’s drawing, probably the most known and reproduced among Master Leonardo’s artworks, represents a perfect picture of Western culture, highlighting the double nature of man, that is physical and spiritual, and his role at the centre of the universe, namely a microcosm representing the cosmos on the base of the proportions of human body established in the II century B.C. by Vitruvio. Not by chance the drawing has become a symbol in the most different contexts: from the back side of 1 Euro coin, to the jerkins of Nasa astronauts. The exhibition is also provided with an expressly-made didactic equipment at the disposal of the blind too, as well as multimedia installations. A video showing hypothesis of geometrical and proportional reconstructions of the drawing, in the light of the latest studies and some large size video projections depicting the historical and cultural context in which the artistic work was created. The exhibition can be visited with an entrance ticket to the Museum which displays more than 80 not-to be missed masterpieces of art in Veneto as well.
