"Une actrice du calibre de Sigourney Weaver a peu de rivales", a salué le directeur artistique du festival, Alberto Barbera, dans un communiqué. Sigourney Weaver est honorée pour avoir construit des ponts "entre le cinéma d'art et d'essai le plus sophistiqué et les films qui interagissent avec le public de manière franche et originale, tout en restant fidèl...

New research by Italian scientists estimates that parts of Venice will be submerged by 2150. The study was carried out by experts at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) and analysed data on tide level rise. Venice has been battling increasingly frequent flooding for decades. There is now a system of flood barriers in place in its lagoon, a shallow, 550 km² enclosed bay in the northern Adriatic Sea that surrounds Venice and its islands. But these won’t be enough to protect the city from continual sinking and sea level rise. Venice will be underwater by 2150A team of scie...

The exterior of the Canada pavilion at the Venice Biennale is draped with hundreds of blue-beaded strings suspended from the roof lintels and cascading down the brickwork walls. Inside are thousands more in sunset hues veiling the pavilion interior. The strings are threaded with minute seed beads - tiny objects that carry a weighty history. Artist Kapwani Kiwanga explores the pivotal role of these Murano-made glass beads in the history of global trade and their “complex legacy”. But for an installation set in Venice, there is surprisingly little acknowledgement of the significance of seed bead...

On 25 April, Venice launched an entry fee for daytrippers to the canal city. The trial period for this charge covers 29 days in May, June and July - including weekends and public holidays. The measure was introduced to curb the number of visitors who only stay for a day. Those behind the fee say they bring less economic benefit to the city than overnight tourists and cause problems like overcrowding. However, many Venice residents have criticised the entry ticket as ineffective in controlling visitor numbers while condemning the city council for overlooking critical issues such as housing. Her...

Five-year-olds are an unpredictable bunch. We were hurtling across Venice lagoon in a water taxi when suddenly the engine cut out with a loud bang. While I was scanning all directions trying to decide which offered the best chance of not drowning, my particular five-year-old was giggling and loving every second. The engine re-started, we shot off again, and I slouched back content that the next eight days crossing northern Italy were going to be absolutely fine. Now, I know Venice, Florence, Pisa and Bologna aren’t the first places that come to mind when you think of being adventurous, or goin...

Pope Francis has said he is thinking about the struggles facing the people of Haiti. He was speaking to thousands of people who had gathered on St. Mark’s square in Venice to hear the pontiff offer mass. “The population is in despair because of the collapse of the health care system, food shortages and violence that is forcing people to flee,” Pope Francis said. Haiti has been in turmoil since the 2021 assassination of president Jovenel Moïse. Gang violence is rife in the capital, with armed groups controlling most of Port-au-Prince. In a report published last month, the United Nations describ...

The Vatican chose to stage its pavilion inside Venice’s women’s prison, and through a deal with the Italian Justice Ministry, invited inmates to work alongside the artists. The result is a multimedia exhibit “With My Eyes,” that is open to the public by reservation only and under strict security conditions. The Vatican exhibit has turned the convent-prison into one of the must-see attractions of this year’s Biennale, an unusual art world darling that greets visitors at the entrance with Maurizio Cattelan’s wall mural of two giant filthy feet. The work, titled “Father,” recalls Caravaggio’s dir...

Venice residents have rallied against a day-tripper fee for visitors, implemented to combat excess tourism. Protesters argue that the fee turns the famous city into a 'theme park' and that it won't address the real issues they face. Hundreds of Venetians marched though the city's main bus terminal holding banners reading “No to Tickets, Yes to Services and Housing”. Protesters scuffled briefly with police with riot gear who blocked them from entering the city, before changing course and entering over another bridge escorted by plainclothes police officers. The demonstration eventually wrapped ...

Visitors to Venice who fail to pay the entry fee to the historic city centre will face fines starting at 10 times the €5 ticket price. Starting this year, tourists will have to pay to enter the lagoon city, a move authorities have introduced to clamp down on overtourism. The charge will be in place on 29 days between April and mid-July. “We need to find a balance, a new balance between the tourists and residents,” said the municipal councillor for tourism, Simone Venturini. “We need to safeguard the spaces of the resident, of course, and we need to discourage the arrival of day trippers on par...
