INDEX
P
alazzo Pesaro degli Orfei, the magical setting for the creative genius of Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo (Granada 1871-Venice 1949) and his inspirational muse wife Henriette Nigrin, reopened in recent weeks. Two years after Acqua Alta hit the lagoon city, the house-atelier of the artist who chose Venice at the beginning of the 20th century for his eclectic experiments becomes a permanent museum. Thanks to a skilful work of restoration, this place of reference for the European intellectual elite at the beginning of the 20th century has come back to life. The evocative itinerary has been curated by Pier Luigi Pizzi, internationally renowned director, set designer and architect.
