IL CAPOLAVORO VENEZIANO DI GIORGIO VASARI: A Renaissance ceiling recomposed until January 31, 2025

The Gallerie dell’Accademia presents, until January the 31st, the extraordinary and previously unpublished complete recomposition of the wooden ceiling painted by Giorgio Vasari for Palazzo Corner Spinelli in Venice.

The complete and, until a few years ago, unthinkable reconstruction of the Corner ceiling, which had been lost in its component elements since the end of the eighteenth century, is being proposed again. The Galleries present the work, unpublished as a whole and restored in its parts for the occasion, in a room entirely dedicated to it along the Palladian loggia and display it strictly on the ceiling, in an immersive environment that carefully and attentively recreates the room of Palazzo Corner for which it was intended, taking the visitor back in time.

Loris Cecchini: Leaps, gaps and overlapping diagrams at Ca’ Rezzonico – Museum of 18th Century Venice until March 31, 2025

Until the 31st March, Ca’ Rezzonico presents the exhibition Leaps, gaps and overlapping diagrams. A series of site-specific works placed in the rooms of Ca’ Rezzonico also determines a further level of interaction and correspondence. Admiring the masterly frescoed ceilings by Giambattista Tiepolo, Jacopo Guarana, Giovanni Battista Crosato and Gaspare Diziani, one perceives how much they project a desire to visually break through the architectural cage. Tiepolo’s clouds, shapeless forms, volumes without mass, are at the same time a support point for the figures that populate the sky, but also a connection tool that crosses the states of pictorial matter (represented sky, painted architecture, real architecture) like the Aristotelian spheres, until they join the spectator in physical space to suck him upwards.
