Exhibition seat at Giardini Art Biennale

The headquarters of the Gardens represents the core of the Biennale Exhibition since the first edition that was held in 1985. The Biennale Gardens are part of the Napoleonic Gardens - the other part is intended for public green - made between 1807 and 1812 on a project of the neoclassical architect Giannantonio Selva (1751 - 1819) demolishing the churches of San Domenico and Sant'Antonio.
The first construction of the Central Pavilion was followed by the National Pavilions built starting in 1907 and the quai were signed by internationally recognized artists and architects. Inside the Gardens, apart from the numerous national pavilions, there are also monuments dedicated to Italian and 20th century figures of culture and politics.
