Venetian Estate Transformed into Arts Hub by Design and Luxury Directors
A historic estate in Mira, Italy, near Venice, has been converted into an arts hub by Riccardo Corò, a design creative director, and Leonardo Tiezzi, a luxury communications director. The estate, known as Ca’ Riviera, spans two villas along the Brenta River and is set to debut with an exhibition titled 'The Shape of the Self / La forma del Sé.' This exhibition will feature avant-garde artists from the 20th century and present, including works by the late Argentine painter Leonor Fini and contemporary artists like Cecilia Granara and Yves Scherer. The estate includes Villa Contarini and Villa Valier, both from the 16th century, and has been owned by the Corò family since the mid-20th century. The transformation aims to blend contemporary art with the estate's rich historical and architectural context.
