The initiative promoted by MyVenice through the questionnaire about the different futures hoped for Palazzo Grassi gained a significative success, even with regard to the news represented by the means that has been used (a questionnaire accessible through the website’s pages, with the answers’results immediately available), and at the same time it gave some interesting suggestions.
The ones who answered the questionnaire are surely an expert public, devoted to culture, people that surf the web and know Palazzo Grassi and the expositions which it organized during its short but intense activity. The answers to the enquiry’s questions are thus interesting clues for those who (City Council Administration and new owners) will be concerned with the new management.
Complexively 94% of those who answered the questionnaire (see chart) on-line has already visited Palazzo Grassi, 77% in occasion of painting exhibitions (Picasso, Dalì, Duchamp), while 69% visited the exhibitions on civilizations: Phoenicians, Etrurians, Pharaohs etc.
As to the future wished for the Palace, the majority of the interviewed, equal to 72%, thinks that it should remain a space meant to host expositions, while around 24% wishes for a permanent museum. As to what regards the operators taking care of the management, at the first place come great museums (45%), followed by temporary exhibitions (44%) while just 4% points at art collectors.
As to the characterization of those who answered, 72% is Italian, 18,7% European, 4% US citizen, and 5,3% comes from other countries.
Males are the majority, although the difference is not that much (50,7%), and the number of young people is relevant: 32% has an age between 20 and 40 years.
