Edipo Re

Radici experience
An Immersive Journey to Pellestrina
Embark on an immersive journey to the island of Pellestrina, the wild heart of the Venice Lagoon. Originally populated by people with “strange skin” (pelle-strana), this island has preserved its deep bond with nature and sociality over time.

Tradition solidifies the alliance between generations, and consensus is forged over time. Pellestrina represents the triumph of time over the ideology of consumption: a slow, expansive time of endless knowledge. This experience is brought to life by the relationship between the captain of the Edipo Re, Enrico Vianello, and the island where he was born. Hence the name “Radici” (roots).
