Venetian “briccole” at the BiVillage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Artwork briccole by Enrico Marcato<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

The journey from Venice to Croatia of the artwork briccole by Enrico Marcato<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In Munich<\/strong>, in the elegant surroundings of the Lodenfrey Park, the BiHoliday group presented the summer season 2023<\/strong> to the foreign press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do so, they chose an original art project<\/strong>, entitled “I Say Art<\/strong>“: narrating a journey<\/strong>. The project involves the two villages managed by the group: BiVillage in Croatia and San Francesco Village in Caorle.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

What are briccole?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\n\n

Briccole are wooden poles<\/strong> – installed up to thousands already at the time of the Serenissima, on which the city physically stands. They characterise the Venetian lagoon<\/strong> and have many uses: they are precious “signposts” fundamental<\/strong> for finding one’s way among the shallows, they are instruments used to moor boats along the canals, <\/strong>they are also supports – they can be recognised by their T-shaped head – indispensable for holding up piers.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three briccole<\/strong>, first exhibited in Venice on the occasion of the recent Biennale Arte exhibition, have been resettled from the atelier of the artist<\/strong> Enrico Marcato to a stretch of coastline in Croatia<\/strong>, at the BiVillage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artworks have been placed in such a place that guests of the village and anyone walking along the promenade will be able to admire them. In order to give the idea of the project, a smaller measuring briccola was brought to Munich and exhibited for presentation.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Once such wooden poles come to the end of their lives, Marcato initiates them for reuse<\/strong>, turning them into artworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I tried and experimented until I found something specific to Enrico: the Venetian briccole, depicted from 1500 onwards by any artist in their paintings: from Tintoretto to Canaletto, just to name a couple. They are the silent guardians of Venice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, 15 years ago I started to retrieve them and apply strokes of colour to make them look alive again. If we talk about this BiHoliday-related project, the one thing that gratifies me, from the human point of view, is knowing that my artwork has travelled from Venice – the mother city – all the way to Croatia.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the BiVillage in Fa\u017eana, where they are installed, is a mirror image of Venice.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Where else is it possible to see artwork briccole other than in Croatia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many of them are held in private collections. However, in Miami<\/strong> you can see them, standing outside the Cipriani Restaurant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Montreal<\/strong>, Canada<\/strong>, they are located at the Aldo Bensadoun Foundation<\/strong>. Then some are in Paris, in Ibiza. And now also in Croatia.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Art as a language of values<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BiHoliday embraces Art as a language of values, as well as expressing that Art-Activism<\/em> which today allows us to talk about socially significant issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These include BiHoliday emphasising the value of an area and its respect<\/strong> for everything that surrounds it, such as the reuse of materials<\/strong> (and the revival of the briccole is an actual example of this).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the project does not end here<\/strong>. There is also a second part that will be revealed shortly, and that will complete the Italy-Croatia journey, in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Enrico Marcato<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Enrico Marcato<\/strong>, 47, lives between Padua and Venice, where he has his atelier. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He worked as an artisan and pursued his passion for painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, he had an inspiration that led him to work on briccole. Among the first to believe in his artwork was Arrigo Ciprian, owner of Harry’s Bar.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
