La Biennale di VeneziaThe 55. Biennale di Venezia, an international art extravaganza, started this week. Each year, more individual nations take part, with 10 new countries— including the Vatican and the Bahamas—participating this year!
Most of the action takes place within the Giardini, where countries stage competing exhibitions in national pavilions. In addition, there are also almost 50 collateral events—official ancillary exhibitions dotted around Venice.
