Vadim Zakharov's Danae project has united the upper and lower storeys of the Pavillon in a single project for the first time in the building's long history, built in 1914. The theme of the installation turns around the ancient Greek myth of Danae. Vadim Zakharov states: "The installation has two points for viewing - from above and from below. Kneeling and looking down, we can grasp and feel that we are present at a unique process of materialization of the myth. Though the huge hole in the floow, we fall into another semantic and poetic space, into which golden coins fly from a pyramid ceiling. Below we see women with umbrellas, which protect them from being struck by the coins. The lower hall can only be visited by women. This is not about sexism but merely follows the logic of the anatomical construction of the myth. What is masculine can only fall inside from above, in the form of golden rain. The lower level of the Pavillon is "cave womb", keeping tranquility, knowledge, and memory intact.<br />

  • VENICE, ITALY - 29 MAY 2013: Bags of Danae coins are lined at the second level of the Russian Pavillon, Giardini of the Biennale in Venice, Italy, on May 29th 20113. <br />
<br />
Vadim Zakharov's Danae project has united the upper and lower storeys of the Pavillon in a single project for the first time in the building's long history, built in 1914. The theme of the installation turns around the ancient Greek myth of Danae. Vadim Zakharov states: "The installation has two points for viewing - from above and from below. Kneeling and looking down, we can grasp and feel that we are present at a unique process of materialization of the myth.

  • ROME, ITALY - 14 JULY 2022: A view of the Baths of Diocletian in the Rome National Museum, which hosts the Museo dell'Arte Salvata - or Museum of Rescued Art - is seen here at the Rome National Museum, in Rome, Italy, on July 14th 2022.<br />
<br />
The first exhibit of the Museo dell’Arte Salvata, or Museum of Rescued Art, pays tribute to Italy’s crack art theft squad – the Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage – for having returned to Italy thousands of art pieces, effectively thwarting “the black market in archeological artifacts,”<br />
<br />
About 100 pieces – Greco-Roman vases and sculptures and even coins dating from the 7th century B.C.E. to the A.D. 3rd century - are on view at museum, which has been installed in a cavernous hall once part of the Baths of Diocletian and now annexed to the National Roman Museum. They had been seized by the Manhattan district attorney’s office from museums, auction houses and private collectors in the United States on suspicion they had been looted. Last December,  200 pieces were turned over to Italian officials last December, a  handover described as the largest single repatriation of relics from America to Italy.<br />
<br />
Rescued art is a broad term, it turns out, showcasing a myriad of ways in which artworks can be salvaged, from recovering artworks from the rubble of earthquakes and other national disasters, fishing for ancient shipwrecks in the Mediterranean, or restoring fragile masterpieces at the hands of Italy’s expert restorers.

  • FLORENCE, ITALY - 26 OCTOBER 2018: A view of a handloom from the 1700s, that can produce a mere 40 centimeters of fabric a day, is seen here at the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, an ancient silk mill in central Florence, Italy, on October 26th 2018.<br />
<br />
The Antico Setificio Fiorentino is a silk mill, located in central Florence within view of the old city walls in the San Frediano neighborhood, that produces the kind of fabrics destined for city palaces and country estates. The mill was bought in 2010 by Stefano Ricci from the Pucci, with an eye to using it to produce fabrics for the launch of a new home collection<br />
<br />
Lined up in rows are the dozen looms that take the slender threads, by now dyed emerald and ruby and sapphire, and weave them into the textiles that form a part of the fabric of Florentine life.<br />
<br />
Silk was made in the city as far back as the 1300s, a commodity to trade for precious materials. In more recent times, the fabric in the gowns in “Il Gattopardo” and “Death in Venice” came from the mill, as did much of Maris Callas’ wardrobe, robes for Popes, suits for Andre Bocelli, and Nelson Mandela’s silk shirts (when he wore one for his audience with Queen Elizabeth II she reportedly remarked, “that’s a beautiful shirt.”) The carmine red curtains at the Villa Medici and the Tribune of the Uffizi were made here. The Presidential Suite at the city’s Four Seasons Hotel is decked out in the mill’s output, as are the walls of the room of the Czars at the Kremlin, and more than 100 red velvet chairs emblazoned with the Kremlin’s golden crest.<br />
<br />
Back hundreds of years ago, in the Renaissance, most noble families had their own looms. But in 1786 the Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo of Tuscany took all the looms of the private aristocratic families and put them in one place. They ended up at the Antico Setificio Fiorentino: six of them from the 1700s, hand looms that produce a mere 40 centimeters of fabric a day; they are joined by six more “modern”

  • 12 March, 2008. Modica, Sicily, Italy.  Panoramic view of the Main living room of the Historial Baroque Palazzo Marconi in the centro storico (historical center) of Modica. The building was built in 1878 and some of its baroque rooms (as well as the entrance staircase) were destroyed to create an apartment in the 1950's. It consists of two floors of 350 square meters each and of partially covered terrace of 350 square meters with a 360 degrees panoramic view. The furnished property is on sale for 500,000 euros. Palazzo Marconi is situated in via Marconi 5, near Piazza San Giovanni in the baroque town of Modica, in Southern Sicily. Modica is part of the UNIESCO Heritage Sites in Italy, and despite the earthquakes in 1613 and 1693, the city has maintained some of the most beautiful architectures in Sicily, in the Sicilian Baroque style. <br />
