Welcome words by Ambassador of France in Vienna, Gilles Pécout
Welcome words by Ambassador of Italy in Vienna, Stefano Beltrame
What city enjoys such universal celebrity as Venice, an unparalleled unicum of history, art and tradition? At the origins of its magic, sixteen centuries ago, lay a unique relationship with the waters of the lagoon, the use of innovative and experimental technologies, the courage to imagine a city of stone on a surface of water and mud, the wisdom of an urban planning that perpetually listens to the flow of the tides. The exhibition Venice Revealed aims to help visitors discover and experience the mystery of this city in a new way. Using images that offer totally unprecedented points of view, it invites you to fly over the city’s districts, it brings you close to the details of the paintings invisible to the naked eye, it even allows you to cross the walls of the palaces. The exhibition itinerary takes the visitor through emblematic places such as the lagoon, the Grand Canal, Piazza San Marco and the Doge’s Palace. Venice reveals the secrets of its past, but also tells us about its future, a city that is constantly facing new challenges in the field of innovation and environmental sustainability.
