Art catalogs, periodicals, essays, and open-access journals: the Foundation boasts a long-standing and well-established editorial tradition, characterised by a wide range of publications of significant historical, cultural, and artistic value.
The general catalogue of publications includes numerous series and journals: among these, there are significant encyclopaedic works such as the Universal Encyclopedia of Art, the Encyclopedia of Entertainment, and the History of Venice, created in collaboration with the Encyclopaedia Italiana Treccani. From the outset of its activities, the Foundation has contributed to philosophical-religious reflection and to key issues of contemporary society, as evidenced by the Quaderni di San Giorgio series, which addresses existential, ethical, and social matters. The publications also include extensive documentation of the exhibitions held at San Giorgio, featuring art catalogues and studies on Venetian graphic art. Finally, the journals published by the Foundation, such as Studi Veneziani, Saggi e Memorie di Storia dell’Arte, Arte Veneta, and Studi vivaldiani, are prestigious references for scholarly research in the historical, artistic, and musical fields.
