Members
The Ateneo Veneto, given its mission of promoting high-level cultural dissemination, is composed of three hundred members, residents in Venice and the metropolitan city of Venice, and by an undetermined number of non-resident members – honourary and international.
Membership is open to those who distinguish themselves as scholars of science, literature, and the arts, and those who, through their professions, industry, agriculture, commerce, or any other field of social life, contribute, with the value of their talent and work to the pursuit of the goals of the Ateneo Veneto.
The application of membership must be submitted to the secretary’s office, along with a curriculum vitae, and it will be approved the Members’ Assembly.
Only resident and non-resident members are required to pay a membership fee which for 2026 is 150 Euro.
Many members past and present of the Ateneo are scholars, academics, entrepreneurs, politicians and artists that have been major figures in the cultural and social scenes of Venice and the entire country. From Daniele Manin to Nicolò Tommaseo, from Alessandro Manzoni to Andrea Zanzotto, from Pietro Paleocapa to Carlo Rubbia, from Antonio Canova to Emilio Vedova, from Riccardo Selvatico to Tina Anselmi.
The members that the Assembly elects as President and all of the institutional roles, represent the reflection of the changes of Italian society. They are the backbone of a long established institution which keeps the cultural debate alive with an eye always turned to the aspects of modern day.
