Etruscans and Venetis: Water, Cults, and Sanctuaries – Venice
The exhibition offers an unprecedented comparison of two great civilizations of pre-Roman Italy: the Etruscans and the Venetis. It explores the fundamental role of water in the sacred world and in the development of societies during the first millennium BC. Unique finds from thermal and river Sanctuaries are on display, illuminating the cultural dialogue between the Etruscans and Venetis. The diverse forms of water-related worship are analyzed: water was understood not only as a source of life but also as a place of healing and cultural exchange. The focus is on ancient water-related Sanctuaries: from Pyrgi and San Casciano dei Bagni, to Montegrotto Terme, Lagole di Calalzo, and Altino.

From Monet to Van Gogh to Kandinsky. New Perspectives on Nature and Modernity – Ferrara
Masterpieces from the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and other important collections: over 120 works including paintings, drawings and engravings, which will lead you on a journey to discover the masterworks of Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Picasso, Kandinsky and Mondrian. These are the names that mark the stages of an epochal turning point: the exhibition itinerary retraces the salient phases of the painting evolution between the 19th and 20th centuries. In less than eighty years, European painting went from direct observation of nature to the dissolution of reality, passing through impressionism, post-impressionism, divisionism and futurism. The exhibition at Palazzo dei Diamanti reconstructs these extraordinary transformations.
When: from September 19th, 2026 to January 10th, 2027
Opening hours: open daily from 9:30am to 7:30pm. Ticket office closes at 6:30pm
