THE VENICE GARDENS FOUNDATION, a cultural organization based in Venice, represented by its President, Adele Re Rebaudengo, receives the Masi Civiltà Veneta Prize for helping to restore to the marble-clad and water-borne Serenissima its perhaps most secret and humble dimension – that of greenery – by opening up the magnificent spaces of the Royal Gardens and the Garden of the Redentore, oases of tranquility and contemplation, to citizens and visitors alike.
