THE GRAND TOUR IN VENICE. COLNAGHI
Exhibition 11th May 2019 - 24th Nov 2019, Venice
We are excited to present an exhibition at the historic Abbazia di San Gregorio in Venice which will open on 11 May, coinciding with the launch of the La Biennale di Venezia, and which will remain open by appointment until 24 November 2019. Presented in partnership with Chahan, the renowned interior designer, the exhibition will create the home of a 21st century traveller, incorporating master paintings with vintage and modern furniture and design.
The Abbazia di San Gregorio was originally built in the 9th century as a Benedictine Abbey. Located centrally on the Grand Canal, near Santa Maria della Salute, it was restored in the early 20th century and includes architectural and decorative features spanning more than 1,000 years. Set amidst its medieval architecture, and the expanse of rooms centered around an impressive courtyard, the installation aims to encapsulate the timeless spirit of the Grand Tourist and illustrate the lifestyle of a modern-day collector.
