The international cultural event dedicated to fine craftsmanship, which was planned to take place
September 10 to October 11 2020 at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini and was welcoming Japan as a
guest of honour, will now return to Venice at a later date in 2021. This decision is due to the
COVID-19 pandemic.

Magnae Chartae
Inspired by the paper artists of Japan and Europe, and curated by Michele De Lucchi

This exhibition pays tribute to the diversity of paper crafts, including paper making, book restoration, bookbinding and calligraphy. Visitors can witness the skill and artistry of artisans at work in the room or use the on-site “ink bar” to try out the gold nib of a Montblanc pen. Discover paper artworks made by highly skilled artisans and decorated handmade Italian wallpapers. Photographs by Italian photographer Susanna Pozzoli will showcase the Gangolf Ulbricht paper making workshop in Berlin.
