Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation

Venice Is Getting Two Brand-New Art Centres in May – Here’s Where To Find Them

Housed in a historic building in Venice’s Dorsoduro district that used to be owned by painter Ettore Tito back in the 1920s, this London-based non-profit arts organisation was founded in 2021 and is named after Italian-born arts patron Nicoletta Fiorucci. The venue launches on May 7 with a site-specific installation by Georgian artist Tolia Astakhishivili, running until November 23 and also featuring work by Thea Djordjadze and Zurab Astakhishvili. The foundation aims to fund the renovation and operational costs of the building, using its exhibitions and programming to support the long-term preservation and use of the space. - Liv Kelly
