contessanally: Venice: Palazzo Fortuny – The Bottega Cadorin - A Dynasty of Venetian Artists exhibition

Venice: Palazzo Fortuny – The Bottega Cadorin - A Dynasty of Venetian Artists exhibition. In the suggestive setting of Palazzo Fortuny, until March 27, The Bottega Cadorin exhibition stems from the need to protect an extraordinary artistic and historical heritage: a record of intense activity by at least three generations of artists, architects, musicians and photographers working in Venice between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The genealogy of this family, who are worthy successors to the great art workshops of the Republic of Venice, represents a unique interweaving of lives under the banner of art, from the sculptor Vincenzo, the photographer Augusto Tivoli and the Fiorini lute-makers, to the architect Brenno del Giudice and the painters Guido Cadorin, Livia Tivoli, Ida Barbarigo and Zoran Music.
