Its Fascinating History
So, every year, Art and Architecture alternate starting in May, up to November included therefore giving the Biennale name to an actually annual event. The Cultural Foundation La Biennale di Venezia, of course based in Venice, is considered the most important one in Italy regarding any type of Modern Arts. Born to represent an international Art platform for the city of Venice and the newly unified State of Italy, the very first Biennale dates back to 1895. To this day, it still actively promotes and fosters international contemporary new themes and trends. The idea originally came to a group of Venetian intellectuals led by Riccardo Selvatico, major of the city.
First editions took place in the district of Castello, close by to the famous Giardini (now called Giardini della Biennale) in a pavilion called Padiglione Centrale (also known as Padiglione Italia).

Its Fascinating History
In the beginning of the XX century, some other pavilion were built around the main one, thanks to some beautiful architect minds like Josef Hoffmann and Carlo Scarpa) trying to pay tribute to the whole wide architectural styles. In the 1930 La Biennale become an independent state entity devoted to promote the new artistic european trends. The 1980 was the year of the first architecture Biennale, with the opening of the new area of the Arsenale that from the very year is the second main location also for the figurative art exhibition.
