Spheres of the Heavens, Spheres of the Earth

Until 29 February 2008, in Museo Correr, is possible to visit an interesting exhibition dedicated entirely to celestial and terrestrial globes (from 16th to 20th Century). “Spheres of the Heavens, Spheres of the Earth” is an event organized by Marica Milanesi and Rudolf Schmidt, and allows to esteem deeply more than 140 works coming from the Museo Correr itself, the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana and several private collections. The exhibition is focused particularly on globes realized by Venetian friar Vincenzo Coronelli (1650-1718), one of the most renowned cartographers and globemakers of seventeenth century.
