Imbued with history, culture and craftsmanship, Fondazione Giorgio Cini is a magnificent setting for Homo Faber Biennial. The historic buildings of the former monastery are located on San Giorgio Maggiore island in the heart of the Venice Lagoon.
The scenography will spotlight the different spaces created by talented Italian architects over centuries, from the Renaissance Cypress Cloister created by Andrea Buora to the Palladian Refectory with Paolo Veronese’s painting and panelling restored by Michele De Lucchi. The surrounding gardens and Gandini swimming pool will open especially for Homo Faber 2024, transformed into scenes where craft takes centre stage and visitors are immersed in a rich human narrative.
