Atelier Pietro Longhi
In the heart of oldest Venice, between the Frari Church and the Rialto Bridge you can find the showroom open to the public: a small stronghold of culture and Venetian tradition. Guests are welcomed by connoisseurs of history of costume, art and European architecture that explain the history of each of the over six hundred suits in the Atelier, motivating the choices of fabrics and shapes.

Lectures on the history of costume are held also inside the showroom, relying in this case on professionals that explain links with the history of art, architecture, literature and philosophy as well as the history of costume.
