Cartier’s creative initiatives to safeguard Venice’s living legacy and cultural soul.
In an innovative partnership with the illustrious Teatro la Fenice, a bespoke spectacle of extraordinary artistry will grace the 80th edition of the festival, unfolding within the storied embrace of Venice’s iconic locales. the Maison’s unwavering commitment to Venice’s cultural heritage persists, as it actively champions the restoration and transformation of two iconic Venetian treasures: Teatro Verde and Conservatorio Di Musica Benedetto Marcello.
Teatro Verde, a magnificent amphitheater designed by Luigi Vietti in 1953-1954 and nestled on the enchanting San Giorgio Island, has, over the years, remained dormant. However, with Cartier’s generous support, in partnership with The Fondazione Giorgio Cini, this unique venue is undergoing a renaissance, returning it to its original grandeur, reminiscent of its visionary beginnings.
Simultaneously, Cartier lends its support to the Conservatorio Di Musica Benedetto Marcello, housed within the splendid Palazzo Pisani a Santo Stefano, a treasure from the early 17th century. The initiative aims to revitalize one of the rehearsal rooms, elevating its acoustics and illumination to a level of excellence befitting its historic setting. Venetian artisans weave their magic, adorning the space with opulent fabric linings and showcasing the resplendent frescoed ceiling.
In a harmonious partnership with Orsoni, the sole remaining furnace permitted to wield fire in the heart of Venice, Cartier fosters the birth of La Scola—an enclave of artistry and training. Here, the timeless craft of Venetian smalti and 24K gold leaf mosaic production thrives anew. Under the guidance of Orsoni Venezia 1888, a division of TREND Group, an Italian global leader in glass mosaics and engineered stone surfaces, La Scola imparts vitality to the Venetian artisan tradition. Its vibrant activities encompass mosaic workshops, thematic courses, and welcoming artists into its residence program, sustaining the legacy of this magnificent craft.
