Crossroads of the world
Venezia (VE)
Magazine: August 2007
The wave caused by the Biennale of contemporary art, that for over a century has been invading the famous water city with a wealth of international novelties, has returned to the Venetian summer. Rapida (29 August – 8 September) is just as impetuous. The film festival lays out the red carpet to the art week on the Lido Island where it is ready to celebrate 75 years with 20 fi lms in attendance. Both events wake up Venice with a wave of modernity and futurism that seems to clash with the tranquil image of the city, perfect and suspended in time, a holographic setting of a painting. The mixtures of culture and style in Venice are evident, starting from the place that everyone knows and loves without ever having visited it: St. Mark’s cathedral.
