MiC unveils map of cultural heritage sites in Venice and Veneto for city's 1600th anniversary

To mark the 1600th anniversary of Venice's founding, the Regional Secretariat of the Ministry of Culture (MiC) for Veneto has published a brochure mapping all MiC offices across the region. The guide covers 7 national archives, 4 national libraries, 4 superintendencies, 16 national museums, and one regional coordinating administrative office. Each entry includes historical and architectural descriptions, the specific MiC office housed there, and QR codes linking to social media pages. Featured locations include the Regional Secretariat at Ca' Michiel delle Colonne in Venice; the State Archives of Belluno, Padua, Rovigo, Treviso, Venice, Verona, and Vicenza; the National Marciana Library; the State Libraries of the National Monuments of Praglia and Santa Giustina; the University Library of Padua; the Regional Directorate of Museums of Veneto at Piazza San Marco; the Gallerie dell'Accademia; and several superintendencies for archaeology, fine arts, and landscape. Regional Secretary Renata Casarin stated that the initiative aims to give unity and visibility to the ministry's peripheral offices, emphasizing that Venice's myth of origin represents an exceptional period of cultural, economic, political, and social development that continues today. The brochure is available for download online.
