Welcome to Venice, the beautiful and vibrant city that has been captivating visitors for centuries....

Carlo Scarpa completed only a few works in his city and even fewer can be visited (the others are private residences). Nevertheless, more than 40 years after his untimely death in Japan, the spaces he designed are unique and memorable. I visit these places regularly and always find new details or new perspectives: it is like the places are talking to us although they were completed decades ago. Moving from the buzz of Piazza San Marco to the quietness of the Olivetti Showroom is like entering a different world and I can say the same for the whole ground floor of Ca' Querini Stampalia that includes the one-of-a-kind garden, a magic blend of Japan and Venice!
- We'll meet in a designated place in the city centre of your choice. - We'll visit the Olivetti Showroom in Piazza San Marco, inaugurated in November 1958 which still today shows the mastery of the Professore (as Carlo Scarpa was called) in treating traditional materials and techniques in new breathtaking ways. - Then, we'll walk for about 10 minutes to Ca' Querini Stampalia and see the ground floor completely remodelled by Scarpa in the early 1960s with the creation of a wonderful garden. - With the same ticket, you may continue by yourselves the visit to the museum on the 2nd and 3rd floors.
