Accademia's Gallery: Late Titian and the sensuality of painting

From February 2 to May 4th, 2008. Accademia's Gallery.
An important exibition about Titian Vecellio, specially about his last production, from 1550 to his dead in 1576.

The roots of the Sensa Feast-day lie in the history of Venice.
The Doge of the Serenissima used this rite to demonstrate the Republic's dominion in the gulf. The doge and his entourage embarked on the Bucintoro. On reaching the mouth of San Nicolò port, the Doge threw a gold ring into the sea.
The symbolism of the mystic marriage to the sea is still evident and is certainly still valid today. The Mayor of Venice, civic dignitaries and religious and military representatives leave Saint Mark's Square and sail to the Port of S. Nicolò where the ritual ring throwing takes place.

In the course of a three-year program director Ismael Ivo elaborated an articulated reflection on the body: Body Attack (2005), Under Skin (2006), and Body & Eros (2007). In June 2008, Ivo will conclude his four-year period in the Biennale’s Dance section with the 6th International Festival of Contemporary Dance: Beauty, Art is beautiful!

COMING OF AGE. American Art, 1850s to 1950s
Coming of Age explores the complex and extended process of maturation that took place throughout this formative century of American art. Drawn from the Addison Gallery’s renowned collection, previously exhibited at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, London, the selection of works offers a comprehensive look at the major developments in a period of one hundred years marked by the rise of modernity and by a dramatic change in the physical and social landscape.

It falls on the third Sunday in July and is a very Venetians’ treasured festivity,
ending with a spectacular firework display in the evening. The Redentore feast-day had it's origin in the 1500 last quarter, when the plague killed more than a third of the city’s inhabitants. In 1576 was announced the vow to erect a church dedicated to the Redentore (Redeemer), in return for help in ending the plague. On July 13, 1577, the plague was declared definitively over and it was decided that the city’s liberation from the terrible disease should be celebrated on the third Sunday in July with a solemn Church ceremony and a popular feast. At sunset the well illuminated boats, decorated with boughs and coloured balloons, begin congregating in Saint Mark’s Basin and the Giudecca Canal. In the boats people eat traditional food, waiting for the firework display, which begins at 11.30pm and lasts until after midnight.

It runs August 27 to September 6 at Venezia Lido:
The 65th Venice International Film Festival will be from August 27 to September 6.

The historical regatta on Grand Canal.
A procession commemorates the welcome given to Caterina Cornaro, wife of the King of Cyprus, in 1489 after she renounced her throne in favour of Venice. It is a procession of 16^th century style boats, with the famous Bucintoro, the boat representing the Serenissima, at its head.
Then comes the competition: many different types of boats take part in the Regata Storica: the "gondolino", the "caorlina", the "mascareta", the "pupparin", and, of course, the gondola, the Venetian boat par excellence.

From September 14 trough November 23
Aaron Betsky, former director for six years of the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAI) of Rotterdam, one of the most important architecture museums and centres in the world, and since last year Director of the Cincinnati Art Museum, is to be the curator of the 11th International Architecture Exhibition: Out There. Architecture Beyond Building, which will open to the public on Sunday 14th September and close on 23rd November 2008.

The holiday is, like the Redentore, in memory of another bout of pestilence, which lasted for two years from 1630-31, and the subsequent vow by the Doge to obtain the intercession of the Virgin Mary.
Was erected a church called the Salute, consecrated in 1687.
On November 21, thousands of people cross the boats votive bridge and reach the majestic Salute Church to give thanks and ask the Virgin Mary to keep them in good health.

January 24th - 3th February 2009
"It will be a voyage of discovery in a fantastic world, made of music, theatre, games and magic. A whirling universe where people from every country can experience the jokes, the masks, and the make-up. Where you can play hide and seek, then reveal yourself and...amaze."
