Venice turns 1,600 years old: a portal gathers initiatives celebrating the event

Venice turns 1,600 years old: in fact, according to tradition, it was March 25, 421, when the foundation stone of the church of San Giacomo in Rialto was laid, the event that would sanction the birth of the city. To celebrate the event, until March 2022 the official committee chaired by the City of Venice will celebrate the culture, craftsmanship, art and architecture, diplomatic and political role played by Venice throughout its long existence.

A special website, 1600.venezia.it, has been created for the occasion, where all the initiatives organized by public and private entities such as museums, superintendencies, archives, libraries, galleries, cultural and craft and trade associations, territorial and international administrations, universities, theaters and others are published. A single shared calendar that, for a year, will be a tool for promoting initiatives and a communication platform addressed to an international audience.
