Marco Maria Zanin
“Arzanà” is the term Dante used in the Divina Commedia for the old Venetian State Arsenal, but it is also the name of a non-profit association, based in Venice, that deals with the study, the restoration and the preservation of the traditional boats in the Venice lagoon.
The works by Marco Maria Zanin usually come from the rediscovery of a hidden source, from a little known heritage, which is part of the popular culture of a territory. It often concerns small museums, archives of daily use objects that become the access door to enter a horizon of meanings belonging to the temporalities of the past still rich in potentialities.
