“Magnifica Eleganza” Exhibition in Cellatica

The Casa Museo Zani in Cellatica presents the exhibition “Magnifica Eleganza. Tiepolo, Longhi e Guardi tra arte e moda”, open to the public from September 12 to December 6, 2026. Set up in the new Exhibition Hall, the show brings together thirty-six works including drawings and paintings by renowned masters such as Giambattista Tiepolo, Pietro Longhi, Francesco Guardi, and Pietro Antonio Rotari.

The exhibition creates a fascinating dialogue between painting and fashion history. It features precious original 18th-century garments exhibited for the first time, alongside costumes created by Danilo Donati for Federico Fellini’s film “Casanova” (1976), which won an Oscar in 1977. Through the precisely depicted details in the paintings, the exhibition highlights how Venetian masters were keen observers of the social codes and fashion transformations of the 18th century.

The works on display come from the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia, the Gallerie d’Italia in Vicenza, the private collection of Mara Bertoli, the Sartoria Farani archive, and the Casa Museo of the Fondazione Paolo e Carolina Zani. Visits to the Casa Museo are by appointment only and are always guided. Opening hours are Tuesday to Friday from 9 am to 1 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. A rich program of side events is also available. For further details and booking procedures, please visit the Casa Museo Zani website.
