Economy and culture in Venice at the beginning of the sixteenth century
On Wednesday, 13 May, at 6:00 p.m., the Museum of Saving is pleased to host “Serene… but not for long,” featuring a special guest, Giovanni Morale, Art Historian and Deputy Director of Gallerie d’Italia.
At the beginning of the sixteenth century, Venice was the center of the economic, social, and political world. The arts flourished, and the relationship between money and beauty emerged clearly in the paintings of Giorgione and his promising young pupil, Titian. Yet the first signs of decline, driven primarily by the Islamic occupation of Constantinople, were already beginning to appear.
The Serene Republic, affected by shifting trade routes and political balances increasingly favoring Northern Europe, became part of a world marked by growing tensions between Catholics and Protestants.
A meeting point between art and economics, this event will explore how the first decades of the sixteenth century left a lasting mark on European history.
