1913
Place of artistic and cultural production, Casa dei Tre Oci is a hosting place for international photographic exhibitions and emerging young photographers.
Casa dei Tre Oci was designed by the artist Mario De Maria and built in Giudecca in 1913; during this period the island was characterized by important architectural and town planning changes. Conceived as a studio-home for Mario, it was his son Astolfo, a painter like his father, who lived in it with his wife Adele.
The house was always a place of artistic and cultural production, a centre for meetings and debates, a studio for artists taking part in the Biennale and a welcoming space for intellectuals visiting Venice
