Pirelli HangarBicocca was founded in 2004 as a non-profit foundation for the promotion of contemporary art in the city of Milan.
Over the years it has become one of the most important centres nationwide dedicated to this type of art, so much so that it is considered a real museum.
Access to the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions is always free of charge. In addition, a series of cultural mediators facilitate the dialogue between the public and art in the various rooms.
What to see in Venice: museums, exhibitions and places you should visit
TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO SEE
Romantic and fascinating, Venice is reflected in the water of its canals, duplicating, to our delight, all its beauty. As soon as you arrive in the Venetian city, you immediately realise that the city is an open-air museum. It is difficult to choose what to see in Venice, especially if you do not get help from someone who has already been there and who can advise you on the unmissable places; in short, an expert guide who knows how to guide your steps through museums, palaces and exhibitions.
Precisely for this reason, on this page I have collected for you all the suggestions for exploring every worthy corner of the lagoon city. Here you will find a collection of the museums in Venice that I consider indispensable; some of the most evocative palaces to visit; churches and places of interest that you can’t help but see and – why not – photograph.

Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute
The Basilica della Salute in Venice is one of the most beautiful in the city and one of the most majestic buildings overlooking the Grand Canal.
This church bears witness to the Venetians’ devotion and gratitude to the Virgin Mary for having freed the city from the terrible plague of 1630, and even today, despite many centuries having passed, every year Venice stops to pay homage to the Madonna.
If you happen to visit Venice on 21 November, you will find yourself at the centre of the celebrations for the Madonna della Salute and you will be able to perform, together with the citizens of Venice, the rite of pilgrimage to the Basilica della Salute, across a temporary votive bridge set up for the occasion and joining the two opposite banks of the Grand Canal.
Here is what you need to know about this church!
