Venice - Venice, with the Accademia Bridge, is one of the ten most photographed places in the world. From now on, web users will have the opportunity to admire not only its canals and buildings, but also the fine collections hosted inside the latter.

After the participation of the Uffizi of Florence and the Musei Capitolini of Rome, also the Musei Civici go on the website of Google Art Project, a virtual gallery of the most important collections in the world, launched by the Google Cultural Institute in 2011.

Thanks to a new agreement, visitors could explore remotely the collections of three renowned institutions: from the works of Titian, Veronese, Tiepolo and Tintoretto inside Palazzo Ducale to the paintings by Canaletto and Longhi at Ca'Rezzonico - Museum of the Venetian 18th Century, and Palazzo Mocenigo, home to the Study Centre for the History of Textiles and Costume.

This way Venice has become the first city in Italy in terms of museums connected to Google Art, which presents on its website over 370 high-resolution images. Among the other Italian institutions involved, there are Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, the Poldi Pezzoli and the Museo Diocesano in Milan, the Musei di Strada Nuova of Genova, the Fondazione Musei Senesi and Venaria Reale in Turin.
