February 17, 2022 – A whole event dedicated to Venice. The guest speaker from Italy is Melissa Conn, Director of the Venice office of Save Venice, the American non- profit organization dedicated to preserving the artistic heritage of Venice.
It’s an incredible opportunity to learn about Venice from a different point of view. As Melissa Conn says “In some ways, Venice is one of the wonders of the world. The fact that man created such an incredibly beautiful city, the impossible city built out of the water, makes Venice unlike any place else, and it should be preserved.”
Saving Venice, she says, should matter to all of us, whether we’re Italian or American, whether we’ve been to Venice or not, for all that Venice gives us.
A long-time resident of Venice with thirty-three years of experience in the field of Venetian art history and conservation, Ms. Conn oversees Save Venice restoration projects in Venice, and lectures in Italy and the United States on the preservation of Venetian art.
Join us on Thursday, February 17 at the McBee House 133 Smith Street, Charleston, SC 29401.
Thank you for all you do for the Italian Community in Charleston and in the United States of America.
