PROJECT BY
Gruppofallani

DATE
agosto 2020

Gruppofallani designed and built the two showcases that respectively house the original sixteenth-century wooden matrices and a copy of the late eighteenth-century edition of Hajji Ahmed's cord-shaped globe. These two showcases were positioned, one next to the other, in the Ridotti dei Procuratori of the Marciana Library in Venice.

Also, in August 2020 we created the new display case that houses the Celestial Globe with a diameter of 108.5 cm by Vincenzo Coronelli, restored and from now on visible again to the public in the Sansovinian Hall. The restoration of the Globe was carried out in 2019 by Sara Gottoli and Sabrina Cordioli, thanks to the funding raised through the formula of donations through ART BONUS, which made the restoration and set-up possible.
