History of the Art Biennale

In 1890 Riccardo Selvatico (1849 - 1901), Italian playwright and poet, then just elected mayor of Venice (1890 - 1895), in synergy with other cultural figures such as the politician Antonio Fradeletto, the painter Mario de Maria (1852 - 1924), he began to define the project of a contemporary biennial art exhibition that could give Venice a centrality in the world and in the world art market.

With the former mayor Lorenzo Tiepolo, thanks to the activism of the Fradelettto and the councilor for the public education Giovanni Bordiga, future founder of the IUAV (1926) and first president of the Art Biennale not to be mayor of the city (1849 - 1901), the first National Exhibition of Painting and Sculpture was organized in 1887; this event was the detonator for the creation of the future Venice Art Biennale.

The Municipal Council, chaired by the Selvatico, in 1893 decided to set up the National Biennial Art Exhibition to be inaugurated on 22 April 1894. However, the exhibition venue was decided for the Napoleonic Gardens where the Exposition Palace was erected on the project of the architect Enrico Trevisanato, and intervention in the neoclassical fa�ade of the Venetian painter Marius De Maria. The Palace was first called "Pro Arte", then Palazzo Italia.
The doors of the I International Exhibition of Art in the city of Venice, in the presence of the sovereigns Umberto I and Margherita di Savoia, finally opened on April 30, 1895 to an audience that immediately proved to be voracious of art so much that the first edition came to score the incredible number of 224 thousand visitors.

During the first editions, and then partly until the nineties of the twentieth century, foreign participants were hosted at Palazzo Italia. The first to build their pavilion were the Belgians with the architect Léon Sneyers in 1907. They followed Hungary (1909), Germany (1909), Great Britain (1909), France (1912), Russia (1914) ) before the forced break during the First World War that blew up the two editions of '16 and '18. But first the Fradeletto had time to remove a Picasso from the Italian Pavilion (1914), in the Spanish Salon, to avoid - according to him - to disturb the public.
