Venice, with Generali, the Giorgio Cini Foundation opens to daily visits

Thanks to Generali, from XNUMXst March it will be possible to visit the monumental complex of the Giorgio Cini Foundation on the island of San Giorgio in Venice on a daily basis. Visitors will also be accompanied by a new video guide system with touch technology which will allow them to get to know a site of great historical, artistic and architectural value.

“This project – says Simone Bemporad, Generali Group Director of Communications & Public Affairs – represents a further piece of the mosaic of activities launched by Generali to support the protection and promotion of cultural heritage in Venice. The reopening of Palazzo Cini in San Vio is joined by the recent restorations of the Procuratie Vecchie and the Royal Gardens, as part of our broader The Human Safety Net project, which aims to encourage the wider use of heritage assets great value and exceptional cultural value. I also wish to underline that this is a further collaboration with the Giorgio Cini Foundation, with which we have a fruitful and lasting bond, the result of a common feeling that arises from the same profound need to take care of the valuable things entrusted to us".

Generali has been supporting the Giorgio Cini Foundation for many years, with which it shares the commitment to access and promote culture. In Venice, a city that well expresses the Group's international and multicultural vocation, since 2014 Generali has supported the reopening to the public of Palazzo Cini in San Vio, with the aim of sharing a unique heritage in the artistic sector.

Today the Compagnia is engaged in the restoration of the Procuratie Vecchie, home and heart of the new project The Human Safety Net, and of the Royal Gardens to encourage the extended use of assets of great value and exceptional cultural value.
