L’Angelo degli Artisti. L’arte del Novecento e il ristorante All’Angelo a Venezia

The exhibition “L’Angelo degli Artisti. L’arte del Novecento e il ristorante All’Angelo a Venezia” (The Angel of Artists. The art of twentieth-century and the restaurant All’Angelo in Venice) retraces the unusual path of the Venetian restaurant “All’Angelo”, opened in 1927 by the Carrain family in the nearby of Saint Mark Square.

Around the 1940s, the restaurant became a hotspot for the art scenario of the time, attracting many important figures such as Peggy Guggenheim.  “All’Angelo” was also the place where a new movement, the Fronte Nuovo delle Arti, was born and came to an end too, with the participation of artists and professionals such as Pizzinato, Vedova, Santomaso, Guttuso, Birolli, Turcato, Corpora, Viani, Leoncillo, Franchini, Morlotti and Fazzini. All became possible thanks to the initiative of the host Renato Carrain and his singular passion for art.
