Documentary on Venice's Avant-Garde Airs on Sky Arte
The documentary 'Venezia. Infinita avanguardia' premieres on Sky Arte on Tuesday, March 4. Directed by Michele Mally, with subject by Didi Gnocchi and screenplay by Sabina Fedeli, Valeria Parisi, Arianna Marelli, and Gnocchi, the film explores Venice's multifaceted identity. It draws a parallel between the 18th-century cosmorama depicted in Giandomenico Tiepolo's fresco 'Il Mondo Novo' at Ca' Rezzonico and the city's continuous reinvention. The documentary weaves together stories of Carnival, masters like Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese, Emilio Vedova's fight to save the Magazzini del Sale, Peggy Guggenheim's eccentric legacy, and contemporary climate challenges. Venice, founded over 1,600 years ago, is portrayed as a labyrinthine, dreamlike destination that has never fossilized into a single historical identity.
