Chiesa di San Teonisto

DESCRIPTION

Having significant spaces that may affect the Mice market, primarily in Treviso, but also the Italian or International one, Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche, through the recently established instrumental company Culturae (2018), proposes the spaces of the church of San Teonisto and some rooms of Palazzo Bomben, both located in the historical center of Treviso and Casa Luisa and Gaetano Cozzi, a small and refined rustic complex surrounded by greenery, in the countryside just outside the city.
The church of San Teonisto is a building that came back to life in 2017, as a center of cultural activities thanks to the complex restoration works commissioned by Luciano Benetton and entrusted to the architect Tobia Scarpa, after the ruinous bombings of 1944 and years of neglect.
The church, deconsecrated since the 70s, today represents a prestigious place, characterized by a system of foldaway stands that makes it possible to use the spaces whether as an exhibition hall or as auditorium (capacity 298 people), to host diverse events such as conferences and workshops, but also as an unusual and exclusive place, full of charm, for buffet receptions, aperitifs and more (the capacity is 180 people with round tables and raised stands; 250-280 with out stands).
The restoration was completed by the repositioning of almost all the original paintings, commissioned during the 16th and 17th century by the Benedictine nuns to some of the most important painters of the time, including Paolo Veronese, Palma il Giovane, Padovanino, Pietro della Vecchia.
