Hemingway and his Veneto

"Il Veneto di Hemingway" is a VIU project supported by the Veneto Region. It is based on the idea of reconstructing and valorizing the Veneto through Hemingway's experience of the region during his stays in Italy from 1948 to 1954.
The scientific coordinator of the project is professor Gianni Moriani.

The first exihibition was held in Cortina between December 20, 2009 and January 24, 2010.
The second exhibition was held in Caorle between July 23,2010 and August 28, 2010.

In 2011 two exhibitions were planned: one in Venice (from April 2 to May 15) and two in New York (May-June and September). 

The 2011 exhibition in Venice was particularly important because it coincides with the 50th anniversary of Hemingway's death.

 

Regarding the exhibition, the following collalteral events have been held in Venice:
- April 20, 2011 at 18.00, at Harry's Bar, listening to Hemingway's voice talking about one of his books.
- April 27, 2011 at 18.00 at Gritti Hotel with Gianfranco Ivancich (Adriana's brother and Hemingway's friend).
- May 5, 2011 at 18.00 at La Locanda Cipriani in Torcello with Memo, the gondolier that in 1948 together with his father, took Hemingway around the city for three days.
- May 14, 2011 at 11.30 at Rialto Market, reading of parts of Hemingway's works related to Rialto Market.
- October 14, 2001 at 18.00 at La Locanda Cipriani in Torcello: Rosella Mamoli Zorzi e Gianni Moriani (eds.), "A Venezia e nel Veneto con Ernest Hemingway": book presentation.
