Tour Highlights

UNPACK YOUR BAGS IN VENICE Enjoy 8 nights in Venice, from a quiet, central hotel, and enjoy everything this extraordinarily romantic city has to offer: historic monuments, exceptional art collections and special exhibitions, international films, tranquil islands and the local bars, restaurants and ambience of Venice outside of tourist hours. Have the city unfold on your doorstep!

THE VENICE BIENNALE The Venice Biennale is the oldest and most prestigious event of its kind in the world, with over 80 nations represented at more than 100 official exhibitions around the city, and numerous unofficial events and special exhibitions timed to coincide with it. Experience the world’s best contemporary art in custom-built galleries in the Giardini, in the historic Arsenale and in palaces around the city.

THE VENICE FILM FESTIVAL The Venice Film Festival is also the oldest, and one of the most prestigious, events of its kind, with filmmakers from around the world competing for the Golden Lion. The tour includes a selection of films on offer over four nights, including a red-carpet premiere at the historic Sala Grande, and the pleasure of arriving in style by private launch.

THE REGATA STORICA Venetians can be hard to find in Venice, but they come out of the stonework for the annual procession of historical boats and the gondola races along the Grand Canal. The event is a continuation of the pageantry from Venice’s Golden Age, when it was Queen of the Adriatic, and is not widely advertised, keeping it relatively free of non-local crowds.

JEWELS OF VENICE Beyond St Mark’s Square is a city chock-a-block with history, art and wonderful architecture, ignored by most tourists. See another side of Venice throughout the tour, from the wonderful collection of antiquities and manuscripts at the monastery- island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni, to gems by Bellini, Titian and Carpaccio, and the mosaics of Torcello − followed by lunch at Cipriani.

This morning we visit the Giardini, the historic centre of the Biennale and the location of many of the national pavilions.

In the early evening we meet to talk about the day’s art over an aperitif. (B, L)

Saturday 31 August the Biennale and the Film Festival This morning we take a walking tour of Biennale exhibitions in the Cannaregio and San Marco districts, some of which are in private palaces with views over the Grand Canal. In the afternoon, we take in more of the art with a visit to San Giorgio Maggiore, an iconic church designed by Palladio. Its prominent location and cavernous interior have made it ideal for displaying large sculptures and installations, which have been major, although sometimes controversial, successes at recent Biennales. The island also has a number of warehouses that have been converted into exhibition spaces, which host excellent temporary exhibitions during the Biennale. In the evening, we visit the Venice Film Festival, which takes place on the Lido, and take in some of what this year has to offer. (The line-up will be announced in July 2019. Please note that the timing of our visits to the festival may change depending on the line-up.) (B)

Sunday 1 September Modern Art and the Regata Storica After a leisurely start, we explore the galleries and Biennale exhibitions in the Dorsoduro district, including a visit to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, located in one of the heiress’s residences, the 18th-century Palazzo Venier. The collection includes outstanding works by Dali, Kandinsky, Pollock, Magritte, Mondrian and Picasso. After lunch in a fine local restaurant, we visit the Punta della Dogana, a former customs house that was converted into a contemporary art space by Tadao Ando and houses works from the Pinault Foundation’s collection. The Regata Storica starts in the late afternoon, and there are many vantage points along the Grand Canal and the Basin of St Mark from which to enjoy the event, although the Punta della Dogana promontory is particularly good. (B, L)

Monday 2 September Fortuny, Grassi & Glasstress This morning, after a leisurely start, we visit three highlight exhibitions that coincide with this year’s Biennale. We start the morning at Palazzo Fortuny – the former residence of Mariano Fortuny, inventor of modern stage lighting and an early exponent of the modern dolce vita – which has a special exhibition of contemporary art, perfectly integrated with the Fortuny’s private collection. We then visit the annual exhibition at Palazzo Grassi, the contemporary art gallery of Francois Pinault, the French multi-billionaire, in a converted 17th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal. In the early afternoon, we visit the Glasstress exhibition, an excellent biennale exhibition of contemporary art made from glass. The exhibition is the brainchild of Adriano Berengo, who brings internationally respected artists into his Murano studio to teach them how to use Venice’s specialty art medium. The later afternoon is at leisure, before we return to the Venice Film Festival. (B)

Tuesday 3 September The Arsenale

Today we visit the Arsenale, once the powerhouse of the Above: Peggy and her dogs, enjoying the sun at Palazzo Venier and just Venetian naval and maritime industries, and a Biennale one of the extraordinary glass sculptures that are shown each Biennale exhibition space since the 1980s.

In the afternoon and evening, we visit the Venice Film Festival to experience more of what’s on offer. (B)

Thursday 5 September Torcello This morning we visit the Ca’ Pesaro, whose collection was formed by acquiring works during the first decades of the Biennale. We then travel to Torcello. After lunch at Locanda Cipriani, we visit the magnificent mosaics in the 6th-century basilica, which are testament to the wealth of an island that is just too far from the centre of modern Venice to attract the regular crowds. Evening at leisure. (B, L)

Friday 6 September Departure Today we depart Venice. A group transfer by private launch to Venice’s Marco Polo airport is available for those who have booked flights through Academy Travel. (B)

HOTEL

 Hotel Al Codega (8 nights)

Academy Travel has been using the charming Al Codega hotel for many years now. It enjoys a perfect position in the centre of the city – minutes from major attractions yet on a quiet enclosed square (a ‘corte’ in Venetian parlance) with no through foot traffic and no noise from the canals or tourists.

Above: The stunning Byzantine Madonna in Torcello’s cathedral The hotel is small, with just 21 rooms, meaning our group will occupy the majority of the rooms. Breakfasts are very good and Below: The garden of Locanda Cirpriani on Torcello, with the church of Santa Fosca in the background; and travelling around Venice in style, there is a cosy bar to enjoy an evening drink. The hotel has free by private launch. wifi. Staff at the hotel are friendly.

In the immediate environs of the hotel are countless cafes and simple restaurants, as well as some of Venice’s premier establishments. La Fenice opera theatre and the church of San Vidal, where there are good concerts of baroque music almost every evening, are within easy walking distance.

Venice’s best shops are at your doorstep, but there are also supermarkets, delicatessens, fruit shops and chemists for more practical needs.

As you are staying in the hotel for 8 nights, you will quickly get a feel for the authentic local restaurants, the best coffee and gelato and other treats that elude most tourists.

Venice and its Biennale

Venice has a very long history of enterprise. Perhaps the people’s acumen stems from the city’s early history, in which refugees from the mainland picked a collection of muddy islands in the lagoon as a site for settlement. They quickly became the middle-men of the Middle Ages, transporting other people’s goods at a substantial profit and controlling Europe’s balance of trade.

Even with the decline of trade in the 17th century, Venice continued to prosper by promoting itself as a unique destination. The number of casinos increased dramatically, as did the other trades that supported the revellers from around Europe who came for Carnivale (which lasted for six months of each year in Venice). While shipping was still significant (and remains so), Venice transformed itself into a type of service economy, about 300 years before it became fashionable to do so.

More recently, Venice has flourished as a city of art; its success is intrinsically to do with the establishment of the Biennale in the 1890s. World Fairs had already proven to be a hit, and the art market was booming on the back of new industrial wealth. Unlike Paris, Venice did not produce substantial amounts of art to sell. That didn’t turn out to be such a problem: Venice would pay to transport and exhibit other people’s art in exchange for a cut of the sales.

The profits from sales were modest, and the practice was later abandoned. As a commercial enterprise, however, it was extraordinarily successful. More than 200,000 people came to the first Biennale in 1895. Europe’s middle class spent money in Venice to see a selection of modern art displayed in beautiful surroundings. A decade later, foreign countries began to establish permanent bases in Venice, paying leading architects to design and build pavilions in the Giardini, now the heart of the Biennale and an open air museum of modern architecture.

Over the past 20 years, the event has trebled in size with exhibitions hosted by nations, major public and commercial galleries, arts organisations and individuals. The modern and contemporary art collections in the city have grown at a similar rate – the Peggy Guggenheim Collection has doubled its capacity, the public collections have grown substantially, and the private collections of billionaires, such as Francois Pinault and Miuccia Prada, now call Venice home. These are alongside the masterpieces by Titian, Bellini, Tiepolo and Palladio permanently gracing the city.

As a model for an event, the Biennale has also been a great success – there are now well over 100 biennales worldwide, and many smaller recurring events using the same model. Venice, however, has the oldest, largest and most prestigious biennale. It’s also in Venice.

The Venice Film Festival

The Venice Film Festival is the world’s oldest film festival and its past reveals much about the history of film more generally. Its first outing was in 1932: it was not competitive and films were selected for exhibition in much the same way that curators selected artworks for a show.

The initial response was positive, and it was run again in 1934. However, Italy’s political climate had shifted significantly and the Fascists had taken greater control of cultural institutions. The new film festival would be competitive, with the filmmakers vying for the Coppa Mussolini, and under the control of a fascist body in Rome. (Film was one of the Fascists' favourite forms of mass communication.) The Fascist-led festival ran until 1942, by which time entries were restricted to nations sympathetic to Italy and the Third Reich. The winners tended to be propaganda films, and the Film Festival no longer considers these years to have been part of the festival.

After World War II, the power of cinema to speak to a large audience was increasingly utilised to help foster cross-cultural exchanges. In keeping with this ambition Venice and Cannes (the second oldest film festival) formed an agreement to cooperate by running either side of the European summer, thus helping increase the audience and number of films potentially on show. The Venice committee, now purged of Fascists, pursued the idea of presenting world cinema and became, in the 1950s, one of the main places where European and American audiences were introduced to contemporary Indian, Japanese, Czech and Russian films. Italy’s new cinema also came to the world’s attention, with directors such as Rossellini, Visconti and Antonioni winning the Golden Lion of St Mark (the replacement of the Mussolini Cup), along with French directors, such as Cayette and Clement.

The festival became more serious in the 1960s, when works were selected on strict aesthetic merit and ignored the growing influence of the film industry. The idea of arthouse was born, and the film festival was devoted to it. By the late 60s, there were no longer awards – ‘competition’ was a sign of the venality of capitalism.

By the 1980s, however, the fervour of the socialist 60s was tempered by the need to maintain a commercially viable event, and the film festival became less elitest, premiering both ‘popular’ movies along with arthouse films. To maintain its intellectual credibility, sections were created in the film festival for experimental films as well as retrospectives, showcasing the great films, directors and actors of the 20th century.

The festival has never really looked back from this point, and today the attendees are quite diverse, from the devotees of experimental film and virtual reality (who can’t quite wear black skivvies), through to celebrities waving at passers-by (George waves like the Queen from his boat), and regular lovers of the silver screen. About Academy Travel Each year Academy Travel organises around 60 journeys to Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia and the Americas, each focusing on a distinctive historical, artistic or cultural theme. The aim of every Academy Travel journey is to combine the pleasures of independent travel with the benefits and shared enjoyment of a group. Academy Travel is an Australian-owned travel company, founded in 2004. The company’s staff includes both academic experts and travel professionals with over two decades’ industry experience. We also have our own office in Rome which organises our tours in Western Europe. This means we have direct control over the selection of hotels, restaurants, coaches and local guides, guaranteeing superior quality.

Great itineraries Academy Travel works hard to create itineraries that provide a balanced experience – walking tours, museum and gallery visits, live performances, city and countryside. We’re proud to be constantly innovating, from opening up new destinations, creating tours around festivals and special exhibitions, to providing unrivalled depth in our residential tours.

Like-minded groups Over the years we’ve been in operation, we’ve developed a loyal band of Academy Travellers, some of whom have travelled with us more than 10 times. They say the small groups (maximum 20, average 17) and distinct themes of our tours attract like-minded travellers and create a relaxed, convivial atmosphere.

Long stays Feedback from our clients consistently tells us that creating itineraries with three and four-night stops, or even longer, is far more appealing that rushing from place to place. Wherever possible, we plan our tours around a limited number of stops, making your travels more relaxed and more meaningful.

Special Events A private viewing of the Sistine Chapel? Tickets to a sold-out concert by the Berlin Philharmonic? A world- famous art fair? Access to private homes and gardens? Behind-the-scenes visits? Many of our tours feature access to places and events that are usually not offered on most group tours.

Expert tour leaders We work closely with a team of academically qualified and highly experienced tour leaders. They don’t just ‘rattle off the facts’ – they help us plan our itineraries and, on tour, freely share their deep knowledge and genuine passion. Most of our tour leaders are still teaching at an advanced level and many are still undertaking academic research.

Years of experience Academy Travel was founded in 2004 by a team with decades of prior experience in small group travel. On average, our tour leaders have over 11 years’ experience, some with 25 or more years. To ensure quality, we have our own office in Rome, Italy and a network of trusted suppliers around the world.
