The Installations of ‘Venini: Light 1921-1985’

The two large installations that were part of the exhibition ‘Venini: Light 1921-1985’, curated by Marino Barovier, and set up in the galleries of the Fondazione Cini, next to the Basilica, remain open to the public until 9 July 2023.

Visitors have the opportunity to admire the renowned Velarium – crafted for the skylight of Palazzo Grassi and consisting of a series of ‘festoons’ with steel cables and balloton crystal glass spheres – and the monumental polychrome polyhedron chandelier, consisting of around four thousand elements and designed by Carlo Scarpa for the Veneto pavilion at the 1961 ‘Italia 61’ exhibition in Turin.
