Giardini della Biennale

Several of the pavilions were designed by leading architects of the 20th century, including Carlo Scarpa and Alvar Aalto.

The gardens are also famous for the many cats which run wild in the vicinity and for some of the sculptures such as the statue of Garibaldi situated at the entrance.

The Giardini is arguably the pre-eminent traditional site of La Biennale Art Exhibitions since the first edition in 1895.

It rose to the eastern edge of Venice and was made by Napoleon at the beginning of the 19th century.

[1] After it was launched, the success of the first editions which attracted approximately 200,000 visitors in 1895 and about 300,000 in 1899, continued to grow.
