Until 8 January 2025, for the 4th Lace Biennial, the Museum will be hosting the exhibition Fragile Stories, with works by Mandy Bonnell and Déirdre Kelly consisting of beautiful tracery cut out of fine papers and maps using the aesthetic language of lace. Fragile Stories expresses the desire to embrace and participate in the rich creativity of women’s hands, always attuned to the delicate rhythms of nature, often – like lace itself – much stronger than it seems. In engaging with the traditions of the Burano lacemakers, Mandy Bonnell and Déirdre Kelly have found a way to recount interlacing stories and evoke journeys by superimposing new techniques on ancient crafts. Bonnell and Kelly are united in the joy of making and the collective energy of women’s work through translations, interpretations and reiterations of the rich collection of lace drawings preserved in the archives of the Museo di Palazzo Mocenigo and the collection of the Museo del Merletto in Burano. Fragile Stories presents a series of works embodied in the detailed complexity derived from nature, prints, drawings and artist’s books evoking absences and presences, alluding to the perfection of interlacing threads. A conversation with the lace makers of the past, touching on issues of fragility and durability, results in a beautiful tracery cut out of fine papers and geographical maps using the aesthetic language of lace. Venetian lacemaking as a traditional female craft and economic activity has become the embodiment of the social and cultural heritage of the islands of Venice. The artists Mandy Bonnell and Déirdre Kelly pay homage to this in Fragile Stories, seeking to give an enduring voice to this cultural memory.

The church of San Maurizio was built by the Candiani family, later Sanudo in the 7th century AD, dedicated to St Lazarus. The first mention of its existence appears in 1088. After a fire in 1105, it was rebuilt and dedicated to St Maurice. Around the middle of the 16th century, the merchant Dionisio Bellavite obtained permission to pull down its bell tower in exchange for an annual tax for the church. In the freed space he built his palace, with the façade frescoed by Paolo Veronese. In 1580, the church was rebuilt, still with the façade on the Rio del Santissimo. Around the middle of the 17th century, the Major Chapel of the Church of St Maurice and St Lazarus was restored: there were 600 parishioners but 19 religious celebrated mass. Between 1795 and 1806, the old church was demolished and rebuilt according to a design by Count Pietro Zaguri, Giannantonio Selva, the architect of the La Fenice theatre, and Antonio Diedo, on the model of the church of San Geminiano (Sansovino), demolished in St. Mark's Square at Napoleon's behest. The new church of San Maurizio has its façade on the campo of the same name. The high reliefs on the façade are by Luigi Zandomeneghi and Bartolomeo Ferrari. Inside the church and sacristy are paintings from the school of Veronese and Francesco Zugno. On the high altar, designed by Selva, the sculptures are by Domenico Fadiga.
In adherence to the left side of the church the building from the School of the Albanians appears. Knowledge about the school appeared at the end of 1489 and again in 1501 and in 1502, years during which the interior decoration of the ceilings and furnishings were being completed. In 1531, a new intervention completed the façade on the calle del Piovan, which can still be seen today, adorned with elegant and well-worked carvings of clear classic-Renaissance style.

Caterina Cornaro (born 1454, Venice, Venetian republic [Italy]—died July 10, 1510, Venice) was a Venetian noblewoman who became queen of Cyprus by marrying James II, king of Cyprus, Jerusalem, and Armenia, supplying him with a much-needed alliance with Venice.

The marriage agreement was reached in 1468, but in the next four years James considered other possible alliances by way of marriage, especially with Naples. In 1472, Caterina finally departed for Cyprus, where the formal ceremony took place. James died in 1473, leaving her and her unborn child heirs to the kingdom. Unsuccessful plotters against James now conspired to deprive Caterina of the throne; and when she bore a son, James III (August 1473), Cyprus was seized by the archbishop of Nicosia and his Neapolitan allies. Imprisoned briefly, Caterina was restored by the intervention of Venice.

The early death of Caterina’s son (1474) precipitated further conspiracies, all of which were foiled by the Venetians, who gradually usurped Caterina’s power and finally forced the queen to abdicate (1489). She was received with honour at Venice and given the castle and town of Asolo, which she governed beneficently. She died after having fled Asolo when her castle was occupied by imperial troops.

The italian artist Lorenzo Quinn created a splash on the sidelines of the Venice Biennale contemporary art fair some years ago with a gigantic sculpture of a child's hands reaching out of the Grand Canal, calling attention to climate change that threatens,among other things, to sink the lagoon city.

Quinn has created a successor sculpture that he wants to be a call to action: Six pairs of arching hands creating a bridge over a Venetian waterway, symbolic of the need to build bridges and overcome divisions.

They are being erected in the Arsenale former shipyard against the backdrop of a city that stands as an historic East-West gateway — and as Europe prepares to vote in a continent-wide election that is shaping up as a battle of populism against more open social democratic traditions.

The sculpture isn't meant as a campaign platform, Quinn says. But his ideals are clear. "Humanity has never grown by creating barriers. It always grows when it opens up its borders and it welcomes new cultures," Quinn told The Associated Press by telephone on Friday as he oversaw the installation another pair of the arching, clasping, white resin hands. "Venice is a testament to that. Venice opened routes to Asia, the Far East, with Marco Polo and the Merchants of Venice. It has been a driving force of European growth always."

Andrea Gritti (17 April 1455 – 28 December 1538) was the Doge of the Venetian Republic from 1523 to 1538, following a distinguished diplomatic and military career. He started out as a successful merchant in Constantinople and transitioned into the position of Bailo, a diplomatic role. He was arrested for espionage but was spared ex*****on thanks to his good relationship with the Ottoman vizier. After being freed from imprisonment, he returned to Venice and began his political career. When the War of the League of Cambrai broke out, despite his lack of experience, he was given a leadership role in the Venetian military, where he excelled. After the war, he was elected doge, and he held that post until his death.

At few meters by pur place: the Traghetto of San Beneto.
Map of traghetto in Venice.
Traghetto (plural: traghetti) means "ferry" in Italian. On Venice Grand Canal, traghetti are the passenger boats that cross the canal at seven points between the railroad station and St. Mark Basin as its shown in traghetto Venice map. A traghetto, also called a gondola parada, carries up to 10 passengers (compared to five for a privately-hired gondola da nolo). The boats eschew bow decoration, brocaded chairs, and other luxury trimmings. They are rowed by two oarsmen: one who stands behind the passengers like a traditional gondolier, the other closer to the bow.

At few meters by our place there's Chiesa di San Benedetto (Church of Saint Benedict). Generally known as San Beneto in the Venetian dialect, the church faces the square named after it, the Campo San Beneto. It was founded in the 11th century and rebuilt in 1685.

San Beneto is a vicariale (subsidiary) church of the parish of San Luca.

The Festa del Redentore is the most heartfelt event for Venetians; Venice comes alive from Saturday afternoon and the celebrations go on through the night on the boats, along the canals and in the historic palaces.

The main events of the Festa del Redentore take place along the historical routes that originated with the origins of this celebration. The incredible pontoon bridge over the Giudecca Canal traditionally connects the Fondamenta delle Zattere to the Redentore Church built by Andrea Palladio; that is, it joins the largest island of Venice with the Giudecca Island where the church stands for one weekend a year. A truly evocative walk in keeping with tradition and obviously also … very crowded.

The Festa del Redentore always take place on the third sunday of july in Venice.

The Venetian Arsenal (Arsenale di Venezia) is a complex of former shipyards and armories clustered together in the city of Venice in northern Italy.
Owned by the state, the Arsenal was responsible for the bulk of the Venetian Republic's naval power from the Late Middle Ages to the early modern period.
It was "one of the earliest large-scale industrial enterprises in history".

Construction of the Arsenal began around 1104, during Venice's republican era.
It became the largest industrial complex in Europe before the Industrial Revolution, spanning an area of about 45 hectares (110 acres), or about fifteen percent of Venice.

Surrounded by a 2-mile (3.2 km) rampart, laborers and shipbuilders regularly worked within the Arsenal, building ships that sailed from the city's port.
With high walls shielding the Arsenal from public view and guards protecting its perimeter, different areas of the Arsenal each produced a particular prefabricated ship part or other maritime implement, such as munitions, rope, and rigging.

These parts could then be assembled into a ship in as little as one day.
An exclusive forest owned by the Arsenal navy, in the Montello hills area of Veneto, provided the Arsenal's wood supply.

The Arsenal produced the majority of Venice's maritime trading vessels, which generated much of the city's economic wealth and power, lasting until the fall of the Venetian Republic to Napoleon in 1797.

It is located in the Castello district of Venice, and it is now owned by the state.

Giudecca lies immediately south of the central islands of Venice, from which it is separated by the Giudecca Canal. San Giorgio Maggiore lies off its eastern tip.

Giudecca was known in ancient times as the Spinalunga (meaning "Long Thorn").
The name Giudecca may represent a corruption of the Latin "Judaica" ("Judaean") and so may be translated as "the Jewry": a number of towns in Southern Italy and Sicily have Jewish quarters named Giudecca or Judeca. However, the original Venetian Ghetto was in Cannaregio, in the north of the city, and there is no evidence, but for the name, of Jews ever having lived in Giudecca. Furthermore, the term "Giudecca" was not used to denote the Jewish quarters of towns in northern Italy.

Giudecca was historically an area of large palaces with gardens, the island became an industrial area in the early 20th century with shipyards and factories, and a film studio. Much of the industry went into decline after World War II, but it is now once more regarded as a quiet residential area of largely working-class housing with some chic apartments and exclusive houses. It is known for its long dock and its churches, including the Palladio-designed Il Redentore. The island was the home of a huge flour mill, the Molino Stucky, which has been converted into a luxury hotel and apartment complex. At the other end of Giudecca is the famous five-star Cipriani hotel with large private gardens and salt-water pool.
