Venice, Italia

Organisation: International Coronelli Society of Vienna - Biblioteca Marciana

In cooperation with the International Coronelli Society of Vienna, the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice will mount a special exhibition in honour of Vincenzo Coronelli, the celebrated Venetian map and globe maker who died three hundred years ago, in 1718. Prof Marica Milanesi, whose recent book on Coronelli was reviewed in Maps in History n° 58 (May 2017), is responsible for the exhibition concept, with the support of Dr Orsola Braides (Marciana) and Heide Wohlschläger (Coronelli Society).
On display will be maps and objects of Coronelli's life from the Marciana, as well as globes from the Rudolf Schmidt collection. A tri-lingual catalogue (Italian, English, German) will be published by Marica Milanesi and Heide Wohlschläger as a special edition for the members of the Coronelli Society.
Venue: Salone Sansovino, Biblioteca Marciana, Piazetta San Marco, Venice.
