\n\tMILAN \u2014 Dior <\/a>and Venetian Heritage are partnering once again in support of a restoration project.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe French luxury house and the philanthropic organization dedicated to the restoration and preservation of Venice\u2019s cultural treasures will hold their traditional fundraising ball, first established in 2019, on Saturday evening, when the Venice Biennale Arte <\/a>officially kicks off.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe partners are linked by American architect Peter Marino<\/a>, chairman and president of Venetian Heritage Inc., New York, who has designed numerous stores for Dior<\/a> parent\u00a0LVMH Mo\u00ebt Hennessy Louis Vuitton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m very glad for Dior to be part of the Venetian Heritage initiative, led by Peter Marino<\/a>, whose commitment to preserving Venice\u2019s patrimony is deeply inspiring,\u201d Delphine Arnault, chairman and chief executive officer of Christian Dior Couture, told WWD. <\/p>\n

\n\tArnault pointed out that Marino already contributed to the restoration of \u201cremarkable cultural landmarks\u201d in Venice, including the Ca\u2019 d\u2019Oro Palace and the Porta Magna. \u201cHelping to protect this unique bequest means preserving not only history but also artisanship. It aligns perfectly with our belief in the importance of transmitting a legacy and fostering dialogue between luxury, culture and history, in a continual effort to support creation in all its forms,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Casino Royale Ball will take place at the Palazzo del Casin\u00f2 on the Venice Lido to support the restoration and reinstallation project of the Ca\u2019 d\u2019Oro, a state museum under the authority of the Italian Ministry of Culture, enabling the redesign of the spaces housing its permanent collections. Led by Venetian Heritage in collaboration with the Giulio and Giovanna Sacchetti Foundation, the program, launched in 2023, will be completed in 2027.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Ca\u2019 d\u2019Oro is considered the best surviving palazzo in Venetian Gothic architecture featuring an exquisite open-work marble facade that in the past was partially gilded, which led to its name that translates into \u201cgolden house\u201d in English.<\/p>\n

\n\tDior has been a donor to the Biennale for years and this partnership with Venetian Heritage reflects the brand\u2019s longstanding commitment to supporting the arts.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cVenice is eternally magical. My involvement with Venetian Heritage comes from a longstanding commitment to Venice and its cultural legacy. Venetian Heritage focuses on restoration projects that are both historically significant and urgently in need of support \u2014 from architectural landmarks and sculpture to major works of art, including the renovation of Ca\u2019 d\u2019Oro. The goal is not only preservation, but ensuring these works remain part of a living cultural context,\u201d Marino said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Venetian Heritage Biennale Gala Weekend will include a dinner celebrating the reopening of Oro at Hotel Cipriani, which Marino recently redesigned for Belmond, the luxury hospitality company also under the LVMH<\/a> umbrella. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWorking on Oro was an opportunity to reinterpret the historic glamour of Venice through a contemporary lens while preserving the intimacy and elegance that make the Cipriani so exceptional,\u201d Marino said.\u00a0Guests will experience a menu created by Massimo Bottura together with Oro\u2019s head chef Vania Ghedini.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDior has been an extraordinary partner in supporting that vision, helping create moments that celebrate Venice not as a monument to the past, but as a living center of culture, creativity and beauty,\u201d Marino continued.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe said the Casino Royale Ball at the Palazzo del Casin\u00f2 \u201cevokes the glamour of the Lido in the 1930s, recalling the golden age of the Venice Film Festival within one of the city\u2019s most atmospheric historic settings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOpened in the early 20th century, the palace, with its Art Deco architecture, has hosted many events and premieres linked to the Venice Film Festival.<\/p>\n

\n\tToto Bergamo Rossi, director of Fondazione Venetian Heritage in Venice, said he was \u201cvery proud\u201d of and \u201cgrateful\u201d for the collaboration with Dior. \u201cI am truly grateful to the maison for its trust and support of Venetian Heritage and of our commitment to safeguarding and promoting Venice\u2019s cultural legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2024, underscoring its ties to Venice, Dior<\/a>\u00a0revealed the completion of the restoration of the Porta Magna gate in the city, collaborating with the Venetian Heritage Foundation.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe imposing gateway is located in the Venice Arsenale, a complex of former shipyards and armories. Built in the mid-15th century, it is crowned with a sculpture of the Lion of Saint Mark, emblem of the Republic of Venice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MILAN \u2014 Dior and Venetian Heritage are partnering once again in support of a restoration project.
