ZEGNA Is the Main Sponsor of the Italian Pavilion at the Venice Art Biennale Chiara Camoni’s project “Con te con tutto” curated by Cecilia Canziani

On the occasion of the 61st International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, ZEGNA will be the Main Sponsor of the Italian Pavilion, promoted by the Directorate General for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture. The Italian Pavilion will present Con te con tutto by Chiara Camoni, curated by Cecilia Canziani, a project that invites us to rethink our way of being in the world through sharing, dialogue between forms of life and a renewed attention to matter, time and transformation.

The connection with Chiara Camoni and Cecilia Canziani began more than ten years ago within the framework of ZegnArt and the initiatives of the Fondazione Zegna. Over the years, the dialogue with the artist and the curator has developed through projects and research that now find a natural evolution in the Italian Pavilion. Vegetal and mineral elements from Oasi Zegna, yarns from the Lanificio and direct references to the landscape enter Camoni's creative process, confirming a deep consonance between her practice and the brand’s values.

«Supporting the Italian Pavilion at the Biennale Arte 2026 means continuing a commitment that is part of our history», says Gildo Zegna, Executive Chairman of the Ermenegildo Zegna Group. From May 22 to November 22 2026, in parallel with the Biennale Arte 2026, Oasi Zegna will also host a solo exhibition by Chiara Camoni, curated by Ilaria Bonacossa, further strengthening this dialogue between contemporary art and landscape.

«For more than a century we have invested in territory, craftsmanship and Italian culture, promoting a constant dialogue between business and art. Oasi Zegna is its most authentic expression, a project born from the vision of the Founder that continues to generate value over time. With Chiara Camoni we share a dialogue that has lasted for more than ten years. Her work reflects this attention to matter, landscape and tradition that evolves. Seeing her today as the protagonist, together with Cecilia Canziani, of the Italian Pavilion represents an important recognition of their path and the coherence of their research, which we are proud to support».

ZEGNA’s support is part of a cultural vision rooted in the family’s history and in the deep relationship between art, nature and territory. Since its foundation, the brand has promoted an idea of contemporary patronage capable of generating value over time. Through this partnership, ZEGNA reaffirms its role as an active cultural actor, contributing to the promotion of Italian contemporary art in one of the most authoritative international contexts.
