| AdminHistory | The Fondazione Giorgio Cini is a non-profit cultural institution based on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy. It was constituted on 20 April 1951 by Count Vittorio Cini, in memory of his son Giorgio, with the purpose of restoring the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore and creating an international cultural centre to re-integrate the Island into the life of Venice.
Alongside its own research and study endeavours, the Foundation offers an unparalleled site for conferences held by scientific and cultural organisations from Italy and abroad. The Foundation has also maintained an active commitment to the city, the state and the international community. The Foundation's multifarious endeavours are attested by the many esteemed intellectuals, artists, scholars, politicians and economists who have visited the Island for conferences, study-encounters, concerts, or performances at the Teatro Verde.
The eight institutes of the Fondazione are: Art History, History of the Venetian State and Society, Literature, Theatre and Opera, Venice and the East, Music, Antonio Vivaldi, Intercultural Institute of Comparative Music Studies, Venice and Europe.
