Manuela Teatini presents her latest film in Venice

On 6 September, in collaboration with the Council of Europe Office in Venice, the director and producer Manuela Teatini presented the documentary film "Giovanni Boldini. Il piacere. Story of the Artist" in the Veneto Region section during the 78th Venice International Film Festival. The film narrates portrait painter Boldini's exhibition at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto (18 January 2021-29 August 2021), and his life and work in the period of Belle Epoque, at the apex of the artist's international success as a renowned european painter. The structure of the film is supported by period footage, unpublished images from private archives and special sets recreated to reproduce the atmosphere and elegant style of that period.

 

Director Teatini collaborated with the Council of Europe Office in Italy in 2020 with the presentation of the short film "Massimo Minini, the story of a gallerist" and, in 2019, with the documentary film "ART BACKSTAGE. La passione e lo sguardo". The latter narrates the making of the exhibition "From Cimabue to Morandi" by art critic Vittorio Sgarbi.

Welcome to the Council of Europe Programme Office in Venice

 

I would like to welcome you to the website of the Programme Office of the Council of Europe in Venice. The Programme Office supports Headquarters in the organisation of activities that span from culture and cultural heritage to training on human rights and democracy. I kindly invite you to surf through our website. Here you will find information on our past and present activities, news and articles about the Office and the Council of Europe. Venice is actively involved in Council of Europe activities. Venice is a member of the Council of Europe Intercultural Cities Network. The network supports cities in reviewing their policies through an intercultural lens and developing comprehensive strategies to help them manage diversity positively. Venice is also one of the four Faro Convention laboratories in Europe. Here the Council of Europe is testing how civil society and local authorities put into practice this relatively young Convention on democratic participation to cultural heritage. Venice participates in the Jewish Heritage Route. This important European cultural route certified by the Council of Europe, goes through the city and stops at its 500 years old ghetto and historic Jewish cemetery. In other words, Venice is a workshop and a test site for significant Council of Europe policies and programmes. Furthermore, the European Commission for Democracy through Law - better known as the Venice Commission, as it meets in Venice - is the Council of Europe's advisory body on constitutional matters.
