Panorama: Venice's New Non-Profit Art Space
On September 13, 2023, a triangular cultural venue named Panorama, covering 20 square meters, was inaugurated in Campiello San Zulian, Venice, close to Piazza San Marco. This initiative, led by curators Giovanni Paolin and Sara Maggioni, restaurateur Filippo Zammattio, and the communication agency MAY, transforms a former retail space. The venue will host exhibitions, discussions, and workshops, showcasing both local and international artists. Its inaugural year featured exhibitions such as Barena Bianca, the last apple trees of Sant'Erasmo, and Batipai's Freccia Azzurra project. Italian artists like Matteo Stocco and Ornella Cardillo, along with international talents Byron Gago and Aiko Shimotsuma, participated. Future exhibitions will include works by Luca Vanello and Maurizio Segato, as Panorama seeks to foster enduring partnerships and cultural resilience in the commercialized San Marco area.
