Procuratie Vecchie
A World of Potential
History
The Procuratie Vecchie were originally the home and office of the Procurators of St. Mark's, the city's highest officials. The current appearance of the building dates back to the first decades of the sixteenth century, when it was rebuilt, also with the contribution of Jacopo Sansovino.
Now, after recovery work carried out by David Chipperfield Architects Milan, the Procuratie Vecchie opens its doors to the public for the first time in its 500-year history. The third floor of the building, with the interactive exhibition "A World of Potential", the co-working space, the Auditorium, and the Café, has become the home of The Human Safety Net, Generali's Foundation that aims to develop the potential of people living in vulnerable conditions.
The Home of The Human Safety Net
Focused on personal awareness, "A World of Potential" offers visitors a playful experience to understand and connect with their character strengths while also enabling them to see the best qualities in the people around them.
The Exhibition is designed by Migliore+Servetto as a progression of experiences starting from values such as creativity, perseverance, gratitude, curiosity, hope, social intelligence, and teamwork.
The Exhibition is curated by Orna Cohen, co-founder of Dialogue Social Enterprise (DSE), a social enterprise based out of Hamburg, Germany, which has facilitated since 1988 the social inclusion of vulnerable people through exhibitions and workshops worldwide.
Your participation in this exhibit will have a concrete and positive impact on The Human Safety Net's programmes.
