contessanally: Venice – Ca’ Rezzonico: Venice International Foundation Gala Dinner

Ca’ Rezzonico Museo del Settecento Veneziano

Venice International Foundation Gala Dinner

Celebrating 20 Years of Activity

"It is at Ca' Rezzonico that it all started and it is at Ca' Rezzonico that we celebrate. But above all, it is from Ca' Rezzonico that we will continue to look ahead, in time and space, with new forces and new plans in the name of Art."

Franca Coin

President

To celebrate 20 years of activity, the Venice International Foundation, once again returned to Ca’ Rezzonico Museo del Settecento Veneziano on the Canal Grande for its annual fundraising gala dinner. Many projects funded by the members were remembered; projects primarily for the restoration of works of art but also, and certainly not least, for cultural, musical and educational activities that in the last two decades have helped to promote museums as places of life. It is of no coincidence that "restoring is important, making it alive is indispensable" this was one of the earliest motions of Franca Coin, founder and indefatigable president of the Venice International Foundation.

The resources of the Venice International Foundation, were originally funded with the mission of supporting mainly the Musei Civici di Venezia, and mostly destined for Ca’ Rezzonico, where the extraordinary works of Giandomenico Tiepolo and his father Giambattista, Antonio Guardi and Gaspare Diziani found their “partners” in the Venice International Foundation. Over the years, the foundation’s area of intervention has expanded to other Civic Museums: Palazzo Ducale, Ca’ Pesaro, Palazzo Mocenigo, Palazzo Fortuny, Museo Correr and then to the city of Venice with works for the Basilica di San Marco and the Gallerie dell’Accademia.

Against a projection of Giambattista Tiepolo’s La Nobilta' e la Virtu' abbattono l’Ignoranza, a painting on one of the ceiling of Ca’ Rezzonico, Mariacristina Gribaudi, president of the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia and Franca Coin, president of the Venice International Foundation gave the 2017 coveted Premio Cotisso to architect Massimo Scolari. The trophy, a hunky pure block of glass is designed and donated by L’Angolo del Passato’s Giordana Naccari and is the emblem of the Venice International Foundation now in its tenth edition.

frieze

The Canova project has further extended its scope of action to Possagno and Asolo and will expand beyond the Atlantic next year with the exhibition Canova’s George Washington at the Frick Collection in New York and then in the fall 2018 at the Gypsotheca e Museo Antonio Canova in Possagno. The adjective International, which has always been part of the name of the Venice Foundation, now has a more concrete sense thanks to their American partners "Friends of Venice Italy" founded in New York five years ago.
