This institution, known as the Art Biennale, organizes many other multidisciplinary exhibitions, born over the years, and arranged throughout the Venetian territory.

They are divided into: the International Art Exhibition of Venice from 1895, the International Festival of Contemporary Music from 1930, the Venice International Film Festival from 1932, the International Theater Festival from 1934, the International Exhibition from 1980 of Architecture in Venice and since 1999 the International Festival of Contemporary Dance.

In short, a cultural movement that generates artistic expressions and discussion, between the streets and alleys of the most beautiful city in the world. The origin of the term derives from the biennial cadence of the event, born from a group of Venetian intellectuals, who proposed to establish a national biennial artistic exhibition.

Founded as a cultural society in 1895, it had the aim of stimulating artistic activity and the art market, it still has the aim of promoting new artistic trends, which have now entered the collective culture, with the ability to make a sensation , to debate and change the way of understanding and making art.

The Venezia Biennale is not a simple exhibition of contemporary art, just think of the protests in 1922 for the retrospective on Modigliani, two years after his death, caused by the dissolute lifestyle of the Livorno artist, to the tensions of the 1968 Biennale, resulting in a real revolt, up to the animal rights protests in 2011 against Maurizio Cattelan's opera The Tourists (today called Others). At this point it is difficult to find excuses for not seeing her at least once in a lifetime.
