Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti
The Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti is an academy whose aim is “to increase, promulgate and safeguard the science, literature and arts”
The aim of the academies is to bring together outstanding figures from the world of scholarship to autonomously promote cultural, social and economic life.
The Istituto Veneto di Science, Lettere ed Arti is considered not only the most important academy of the Veneto region, but can also pride itself on a national and international status, thanks to the breadth of its structure and the extent and complexity of its cultural and scientific activities.
Palazzo Cavalli Franchetti
In its first three centuries, from the mid-fifteenth century to the mid-eighteenth century, the palazzo was shared by various branches of illustrious Venetian families: the Marcello, Gussoni and Cavalli families.
In the 1840s, Archduke Frederick of Austria reunited the property and embarked on a complex modernisation project which was to give the palazzo its distinguishing air of modernity. In 1847 the palazzo was bought by the count of Chambord – Henry V to the French legitimists – who entrusted restoration work to Giambattista Meduna.
In 1878 Baron Raimondo Franchetti bought the building, which remained in his family until September 1922 when it was sold to the Istituto Federale di Credito per il Risorgimento delle Venezie by Franchetti’s widow, Sarah Luisa De Rothschild. It was in this period that the name of the architect Camillo Boito was first associated with the palazzo. He carried out major alterations and designed the monumental staircase.
On 8 September 1999, the Istituto Veneto di scienze, Lettere ed Arti took over the Palazzo Franchetti with the aim of making it one of the most active and prestigious centres of cultural life in the city and the country.
