Through a theme each shot, these events addresses the unique story of Gabrielle Chanel and maison CHANEL. It is in Venice, one of the main places of inspiration mademoiselle, where the public will discover for the first time her library.

From greek authors to modern poets, this abundant space unveils the works that marked the life and shaped the personality of one who was a great reader
