      The Biennale is one of the most important forum about knowledge and the 'enlightenment' of new developments of international art. The title of 54. Exposition, ILLUMInations literally puts the spotlight on the importance of these developments in a globalized world.

      54th International Festival of Contemporary Music: yes we can (together)

      Finally together four of the best cultural institutions in Venice: Conservatory Benedetto Marcello, Accademia di Belle Arti, Theater La Fenice , Venice Biennale. If good ideas will save us (and Venice), this is one of them. In times where money is too tight (to mention), join together must be one of the answers. Bis! Again please!

      txt: Don Giovanni in Venice 23 > 25 September Palazzo Pisani, Conservatorio B. Marcello of Venice Labyrinth Opera

      The Don Giovanni by Mozart becomes Don Giovanni a Venezia, a totally new opera installation that inaugurates the 54th Festival and presents itself as a synthesis of the themes running through it. A concentration of many simultaneous events – musical, scenic, theatrical, visual – dispersed throughout the spaces of the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello in Venice and cyclically “switched on”, Don Giovanni a Venezia disrupts our perceptive habits and creates interference between different eras. Conceived by director Luca Francesconi, Don Giovanni a Venezia is a singular experiment in production with young artists from the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello and the Accademia di Belle Arti who will measure themselves on the professional stage against the singers and musicians of one of the major opera theatres, the Teatro La Fenice, against the composers, soloists and actors involved in this operation. A complex stage organization, engaging over 130 artistic and technical professionals, made possible by the joint commitment of four Venetian institutions: the participants in this project by the Music Biennale are the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello, which not only put its young musicians and composers to work, but also offered its historic headquarters at Palazzo Pisani in Campo Santo Stefano, one of the most fascinating Venetian palaces, as the venue for the performance; the Teatro La Fenice, which involved its entire choir and orchestra ensemble, and opened its storerooms to lend the costumes and props; and the Accademia di Belle Arti, which will create the sets for Palazzo Pisani.

      txt: Can Venice be raised by pumping water underground? A pilot project to help decide- AGU Journals, WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH

      new modeling studies using a lot of realistic hydrogeological and geomechanical information from the northern Adriatic basin indicate that pumping seawater into a 600–800 m deep brackish aquifer below the Venice Lagoon might help raise the city uniformly by 25–30 cm over 10 years (a). This could provide Venice with an important innovative defence from and a substantial mitigation to the so-called “acqua alta,” i.e., the increasingly frequent floods that plague the city.

      txt: Salvare Venezia con acqua di mare Università di Padova - Uniscienze

      L’idea di sollevare Venezia si collocherebbe in termini sinergici nei confronti del “sistema MOSE”. Innanzi tutto l’impianto di sollevamento ed il sollevamento stesso avrebbero impatto pressoché nullo sull’eco-sistema lagunare. Ciò premesso, un progetto di sollevamento della città avrebbe un costo enormemente inferiore a quello del MOSE (dell’ordine di pochi %) mentre consentirebbe di mantenere inalterata la funzionalità del MOSE all’interno e finanche oltre i 50 anni di vita previsti, anche in presenza di un innalzamento del mare (dovuto al global warming) che alcuni studiosi prevedono possa essere simile a quello considerato nel progetto.

      txt: FESTA DEL REDENTORE 2010 - A traditional festival that lights up St. Mark's bay

      The Festa del Redentore is a festival that is particularly popular with Venetians as it combines a religious theme with a spectacular celebration that attracts thousands of visitors. On Saturday night, the inimitable setting of St. Mark's Basin hosts a phantasmagorical firework display that lights up the spires, domes and bell towers of the city with a kaleidoscope of colours and reflections. At dusk, just as they have done for centuries, numerous small boats decked out with balloons, decorations and brightly coloured lanterns, begin to flock into St. Mark's Bay and the Giudecca Canal. The boats then moor alongside each other and all the participants enjoy a sumptuous dinner of traditional Venetian specialities while they wait for the firework display that begins at 11.30pm and lasts until well past midnight.

      SPECIAL PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICE

      On Saturday July 17th, in the night, Trenitalia will arrange the following special trains from Venice to the main towns in the Veneto: - From Venezia Santa Lucia to Mestre: departures at 01:01 - 01:10 - 01:20 - 01:50 - 02:05; - From Venezia Santa Lucia to Padova: departure at 02:10, stops in alla stations except Porto Marghera; - From Venezia Santa Lucia to Treviso: departure at 02:42, stops in Mestre, Mogliano Veneto, Preganziol; - From Venezia Santa Lucia to Vicenza: departure at 02:50, stops in alla stations except Porto Marghera. ACTV will adjust local means of transportation, both on water and in the mainland.
