The Gallerie dell’Accademia will be presenting the exhibition Canova, Hayez, Cicognara. The last glory of Venice, curated by Fernando Mazzocca, Paola Marini, and Roberto De Feo: The exhibition will recall an important moment of cultural renewal in which Venice rediscovered its ancient glory and halted the cultural decline that had followed the fall of the Serene Republic of Venice.
Venice is celebrating the bicentenary of the opening of the Gallerie dell’Accademia (1817-2017) by proposing an occasion for thoughts about the birth of the institution and about its key role, in a national and international context, as the primary venue for Venetian painting.
