The eminent explorer, researcher and writer specialized in a range of fields, including geology, geography, toponymy, cartography, ethnography, history and more. It was thanks to his work that the hitherto unknown land of Ussuri Territory was uncovered. Arseniev made a great contribution to people’s knowledge of geography, ethnography, and other subjects.

There is probably no person on earth who has not heard of the extraordinary beauty of Venice. The city is associated with a myriad of timeless symbols – carnivals, palazzos, the flooded Piazza San Marco, the picture-postcard Rialto Bridge, fans and masks.
A veduto (“view” in Italian) is a painting which depicts an everyday cityscape. By the mid-18th century, Venice had become the recognized centre of vedute painting.
At the head of the Venetian school of vedutisti was Giovanni Antonio Canal, commonly known as Canaletto. His work came to serve as a paragon for successive generations of cityscape painters. Among those to be influenced by Canaletto’s work were the talented artists Francesco Guardi and Michele Marieschi. The exhibition will provide participants and guests of the Eastern Economic Forum with the chance to view one of the museum collections of the Intesa Sanpaolo Italian banking group.
