"Chiesa d'Oro" (golden Church) is the name that often indicates the Basilica of San Marco in Venice. An epithet that derives from the use of this precious material for large mosaic decorations that have fascinated pilgrims and visitors for about a millennium. The international artist Fabrizio Plessi was inspired by this "golden sky" that opens in the heart of the Basilica to give life to his work Digital Christmas.

The genius of Fabrizio Plessi, however, gave Venice another magnificent work visible on the facade of the Napoleonic Wing of the Correr Museum until 6 January: The Golden Age. A real digital cascade that in a precious continuous flow spreads from the windows of the Museum and lets a single message emerge, that “Pax tibi” of evangelical memory which also bears the Lion of Venice between its paws. The Golden Age represents a tribute to the city, to its history of great prosperity and inexhaustible search for beauty, but at the same time to those who were the creators of all this, or the artisan shops that still represent a heritage of the city.
The place chosen for the location of this work is also significant, the same that in 2001 hosted Waterfire, also by Fabrizio Plessi, a digital work that instead played on the contrast between the elements of water and fire. Twenty years later the protagonist is light, in all its expressions, to create a bridge towards others and towards the future, thrown in the direction of a possible rebirth after the year of Covid.
