WHEREAS :

Hugo Pratt's son proposed the foundation of a pemanent exhibition (museum) in Venice, dedicated to the well known venetian comic-strip writer, in which watercolours, tables and the archive of the artist, passed away 11 years ago, should be collected;


The director of the Civic Venetian Museums has stated a general agreement to the initiative, and also the entrepreneur of Treviso "Bornello" have agreed to guest the whole collection in a Villa in Treviso, built in the 70s by architect Roberto Pamio, of the school of Scarpa.

The huge documentation (17.500 works), precious and unique ( it puts together all the documentation that has been used to create Corto Maltese's adventures) has been guested from 1995 to nowadays in Sierre, a Swiss town, but it's now evicted and urgently needs another structure.

PROVIDED FOR :

Independently from the positive interest and availability of entrepreneurs from Treviso, it is opportune and necessary for the town of Venice to prevent another "exodus" - cultural, in this occasion - from Venice, and to honor the Work of our fellow citizen, many friends of which, together with many students and collaborators, still live in Venice's lagoon;

It is in any case fundamental to act quickly to save theHugo Pratt's huge library, evicted from Sierre, and possibly obtain a definitive placement inside the public Orfei Palace, now known as Fortuny Palace or other public places free.
WE DEMAND :

The mayor and the interested public institutions, to take the opportune measures to save Pratt's library and to favor the rebirth of Hugo Pratt museum in the venetian lagoon, if possible guesting it together with the related library inside Fortuny Palace or another prestigious and adequate Venetian public building;

WE INVITE :

The patrons of Treviso Bornello (and anybody else interested) to collaborate with venetian administration and with the director of Venetian Civic Museums, to join the efforts, and to permit the birth of Hugo Pratt museum, with adequate media visibility and cooperation.
