In Eleonora Duse’s Room. From Portrait to the icon: the charm of an actress through photography

A new set up for “In Eleonora Duse’s Room”, a space permanently dedicated to the memory of the great Italian actress, stemmed from the desire to make the Eleonora Duse Archive a place open to the public, to be visited and explored.

The valuable collection of material kept in the Study Centre for Documentary Research into European Drama and Opera is a very rich resource for studying the life and art of the fascinating diva who came to Venice in search of a congenial environment and a house, where she then lived for many years.

The Room is available for visits only with advance reservations.
