Venezia città magica e misteriosa, città della cultura e dell'arte.
Quadreria delle Gallerie dell'Accademia
La Quadreria delle Gallerie dell’Accademia ospita all’ultimo piano del monastero palladiano dei Lateranensi circa 80 dipinti di scuola veneta costituenti il deposito del museo. All’epoca dell’apertura della quadreria, l’allora Ministro per i Beni Culturali, Antonio Paolucci, la descriveva così: “il deposito è la riserva vitale di ogni collezione pubblica, ne documenta la storia con le mutazioni del gusto... e' il luogo della ricerca... e' il museo nascosto che sta al museo visibile cosi' come gli organi interni stanno alla pelle e alla faccia di ciascuno di noi”.
