Between them, they run the Prada brand. Since its inception, the Prada Foundation has organized many notable exhibitions and in the 2010s opened three permanent exhibition spaces in Milan and Venice. The Prada Foundation also collaborates regularly with cultural institutions such as the Tribeca Film Festival and the Venice Biennale, as well as with a range of international artists, from British artist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/en\/art\/damien-hirsts-floral-art-masterclass-comes-to-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Damien Hirst<\/a> to Walter de Maria and Anish Kapoor.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Three_unique_exhibition_sites_to_visit_during_a_stay_in_Italy\"><\/span>Three unique exhibition sites to visit during a stay in Italy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_CaCorner_della_Regina_Palace_in_Venice_a_historical_monument\"><\/span>The Ca&#8217;Corner della Regina Palace in Venice: a historical monument<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Fondazione Prada&#8217;s first location is in the 18th century <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazioneprada.org\/visit\/visit-venezia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">palazzo Ca&#8217;Corner della Regina<\/a>, located in the Santa Croce district of Venice. Since 2011, Ca&#8217;Corner has housed not only the historical archives of the Venice Biennale contemporary art exhibition, but also Fondazione Prada&#8217;s exhibition rooms. In this architectural jewel, the Fondazione has organized several group exhibition events such as \u201cThe Small Utopia. Ars multiplicata\u201d (2012) and \u201cArt or Sound\u201d (2014). In 2021, the exhibition \u201cStop Painting\u201d, by Swiss artist Peter Fischli, took place in 2021 and looked at the breaks in the history of painting over the past 150 years.<\/p>\n<p>The architectural style of this exquisite urban palace is linked to the baroque style of the nearby Ca&#8217;Pesaro, designed by the Italian architect Baldassare Longhena, to whom many Venetian monuments are attributed. The Istrian stone facade, which overlooks the Grand Canal, borrows from the architectural register of the Renaissance and Classicism, without renouncing the sumptuous decoration typical of the Baroque aesthetic. Inside the palace, the two symmetrical staircases are worth mentioning, as well as the two <em>piani nobili <\/em>and their impressive porticoes, decorated with stucco and frescoes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_967\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-967\" class=\"center wp-image-967 size-full\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Fondazione Prada\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/villas-decoration-fondazione-prada-largo-isarco-2-ok.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Fondazione Prada\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-967\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fondazione Prada\/Photo: Bas Princen | Largo Isarco<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_main_Fondazione_Prada_in_the_industrial_area_of_Largo_Isarco_in_Milan\"><\/span>The main Fondazione Prada in the industrial area of Largo Isarco in Milan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In 2015, Fondazione Prada opened the doors of its largest permanent location to the public. This complex is located in a former distillery dating back to the beginning of the last century, which consisted of seven buildings. Recently, three new buildings were added: Podium, Cinema and finally Torre, a sixty-metre-high white concrete tower which, in addition to the exhibition spaces, also houses a restaurant and a panoramic terrace. The entire site covers 19,000 square metres, of which 11,000 square metres are dedicated to exhibition spaces. The four-storey tower is entirely covered in gold leaf and houses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazioneprada.org\/project\/louise-bourgeois\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">a permanent installation by Robert Gober and two works by Louise Bourgeois<\/a>. The Largo Isarco site also houses the photogenic Bar Luce. This cafe was decorated by director Wes Anderson, who imagined an old-fashioned Milanese cafe for its design, drawing inspiration from Italian neorealist cinema of the 1950s and 1960s. The interior also strongly resonates with the essence of his film projects, with pretty pastel preferences and mid-century modern furniture.<\/p>\n<p>The architectural firm OMA, co-founded and headed by Rem Koolhaas, was commissioned to design this vast exhibition centre. The Dutchman describes it as \u201ca small art city with squares, alleys and walkways\u201d. Two objectives are at the heart of this large-scale project, and they constantly interact with each other: the preservation of existing buildings and the creation of new architecture. The architectural firm OMA\/Rem Koolhaas often works with the Prada Group. For example, they have designed several iconic boutique buildings from New York to Tokyo, some of whose architectural elements are featured in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazioneprada.org\/project\/herzog-de-meuron-omaamo-rem-koolhaas-projects-for-prada-works-in-progress\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the exhibition \u201cHERZOG &amp; de MEURON, OMA\/AMO Rem Koolhaas: Projects for Prada.

This space is located on the fifth and sixth floors of the famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the oldest active shopping mall in Italy. This elegant covered shopping mall was built by the architect Giuseppe Mengoni between 1865 and 1877, in a neoclassical style with Baroque influences. The impressive architecture and the special finish with precious marbles and carefully restored mosaics make the Galleria one of the most important attractions in Milan.<\/p>\n<p>The Osservatorio is located just above the central octagon of the shopping complex, on the same level as the glass dome, and is mainly dedicated to contemporary photography and forms of visual language.
