A treasury of books (Venice, 4/7/10-7/7/10)

A treasury of books
The Giorgio Cini Foundation antique collection

Venice, Island of San Giorgio Maggiore - from April 7 to July 4, 2010

"The Giorgio Cini Foundation, in order to highlight and promote the significant heritage preserved on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, has put on show a selection of its collection of 15th- and 16th-century volumes. The exhibition has a twofold itinerary organised according to theme and collectors. The idea is to present some of the most significant examples from the valuable private collections of eminent collectors in a selection of thematically kindred books in order to illustrate how book collections may develop in various ways."
