Be honest, how many times have you rushed past the beautiful external portal of the Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista in Venice?

Step inside and you'll discover far more than an impressive interior. Founded in 1261, this is the oldest of Venice's Scuole Grandi, a lay confraternity that combined charity, faith, and civic influence. Its growing prestige was fuelled by the arrival of a revered relic of the True Cross in 1369, attracting pilgrims, patrons, and, yes, a touch of medieval "marketing" too.

Here I'm sharing my favourite mystical shadows and one of the most elegant perspectives of Mauro Codussi's magnificent Renaissance staircase, commissioned in 1498. The scale of the spaces always surprises me, they feel far grander than you could ever imagine from outside.

Have you explored it yet? I highly recommend joining a guided tour or simply taking your time to read the stories behind the architecture and artworks. The building is still the home of the historic confraternity and preserves masterpieces spanning the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque periods.

Before your visit, check the opening calendar on the official website, as public access depends on the venue's schedule: Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista official website.

Sun-baked Venetian pastel walls in the warmth of August.

Every corner holds layers of centuries; every window has a story to tell.

Emotions of spring explorations, thoughtful design, and a renewed sense of hospitality in the lagoon city.

Honoured to be featured in TOP HOSPITALITY CZ/SVK, where this article becomes an invitation to slow down in Venice and discover the dialogue between its timeless heritage and contemporary creativity.

Beyond the well-known routes, I explored quieter corners of the city. From galleries and La Biennale to remarkable new hospitality spaces capturing the details, atmospheres, and craftsmanship that continue to shape Venice today.

Swipe through the story and let me know which place inspires you most.

I am very happy to share the publication of my article in Slovak language in Top Hospitality magazine, reaching the Slovak and Czech community of hospitality and tourism professionals.

The article, “A Spring Guide of the Lagoon City Blooming by Arts and Charme,” explores Venice in its most delicate season - a time when the lagoon city reveals its beauty through art, atmosphere, and hidden experiences.

Since moving to Venice, and after experiencing this truly special place, discovering its seasonal treats, hidden corners, and unique beauty, I have felt a strong wish to share both the simple and the lesser-known sides of Venice, creating space for meaningful and valuable experiences, as well as a contemporary design perspective.

I am grateful that new bridges are now being built towards the Central European audience, and I hope this article will inspire readers to discover Venice more slowly, with curiosity, respect, and a focus on quality time.

Knowledge as a living monument.

Inside the Renaissance spaces of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Fondazione Bvlgari presents two contemporary interventions for Biennale Arte 2026: a dialogue between memory, language and transformation.

Monia Ben Hamouda’s Fragments of Fire Worship introduces luminous, fragmented forms of an impossible alphabet, while Lara Favaretto’s Momentary Monument – The Library transforms the Salone Sansoviniano into a temporary architecture of books, knowledge and exchange.

A historic library becomes a living space where the permanence of Venice meets the instability of contemporary thought.

Where Renaissance heritage meets contemporary vision. ✨

The exhibition The Shape of Time presents a major survey of Barry X Ball at Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore.

Curated by Bob Nickas and coordinated by Carmelo A. Grasso, the exhibition brings together 23 sculptures- most shown publicly for the first time - creating a dialogue between advanced digital technologies, traditional craftsmanship, and the architecture of Andrea Palladio.

Spread throughout the basilica, the works explore portraiture, spirituality, and art history, including Barry X Ball's ongoing engagement with historical sculptural traditions and his reinterpretations of iconic masterpieces. The exhibition offers a compelling encounter between past and present in one of Venice's most remarkable cultural settings.

In the heart of Piazza San Marco, art and architecture meet in a dialogue across life and contemporary art.

Now on view at SMAC Venice:
• Lee Ufan
9 May – 22 November 2026

A major exhibition spanning more than 70 years of the artist’s practice, featuring paintings, sculptures, and a new site-specific installation.

• Alighiero Boetti
7 May – 22 November 2026
A landmark presentation of one of Italy’s most influential contemporary artists, bringing together key works from across his career.

Throughout the exhibition, Boetti investigates themes of order and chaos, authorship and collaboration, control and chance, time and transformation. Rather than presenting the artist as the sole creator, his works reveal art as a process shaped by systems, collective effort, and the world itself.

A compelling overview of one of the most influential Italian artists of the twentieth century, whose practice continues to resonate through its engagement with geopolitics, identity, collaboration, and the complexity of contemporary life.

📷Artworks and views are featured in the carousel.
