Homo Faber in Città: what to see and where
In addition to the main exhibition, Homo Faber 2024 expands beyond the confines of the Giorgio Cini Foundation with "Homo Faber in Città". This program, developed in collaboration with the Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d’Arte, invites visitors to explore the lesser-known Venice, that of artisan workshops and hidden laboratories. From 1 to 30 September, over seventy workshops will open their doors to the public. A unique opportunity to enter these magical spaces and attend, for example, a demonstration of the art of grinding and engraving crystal in the Panizzi Murano laboratory, to observe the skill with which the master Saverio Pastor creates the characteristic fórcola from a single piece of wood, to meet the Venetian regatta sailor Anna Campagnari, who in her studio in Santa Croce dedicates herself to the creation of traditional flags, to follow the glass-making process, from the raw sand to the finished product, at the Fornace Mian.
