Sailing Into Culture: Casa Sanlorenzo Anchors In Venice
Casa Sanlorenzo Saloon Sanlorenzo Arts–a creative hub dedicated to the artistic and cultural initiatives of luxury yacht pioneers Sanlorenzo–has been unveiled in Venice during the inaugural Venice Climate Week (3-8 June, 2025), as the lagoon city presents la Biennale di Architettura. Venice Climate Week is a new Italian event celebrating World Environment Day and World Oceans Day, conceived and directed by Riccardo Luna in collaboration with the Future Food Institute as a week dedicated to climate change, sustainability, and restarting dialogue and exchange among institutions, citizens, businesses, activists, scientists, and artists. In the heart of Venice—where whispers of history echo along watery corridors, and the light dances off facades steeped in time—a new addition to the city's cultural tapestry has arrived: Casa Sanlorenzo–a new cultural cub conceived by acclaimed Italian yachting company Sanlorenzo–has opened its doors with a subtle launch that respects the city's legacy while gesturing boldly towards a more philanthropic and sustainable future. Casa Sanlorenzo Exterior Unveiled during the inaugural Venice Climate Week, with the Biennale di Architettura as its backdrop, Casa Sanlorenzo is not simply a building—it is a philosophy sculpted in stone, glass, and vision. It rises across from the majestic Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, as if in quiet dialogue with the Baroque architectural masterpiece, promising not to compete but to converse. Sanlorenzo, long revered for crafting luxury yachts that glide elegantly across the water, now extends its creative ambitions onto land. With the opening of the new Casa Sanlorenzo cultural centre, Sanlorenzo pivots from producing exquisite vessels to becoming a vessel itself, one that carries culture, ideas, and transformation. At the Casa's inauguration, Massimo Perotti, Sanlorenzo's Executive Chairman, gave a welcome speech to guests beneath a pale Venetian sky. Above, a curious duel unfolded: a seagull clashing mid-air with a hovering drone. The spectacle, unintended yet symbolic, brought a moment of reflection—a metaphor for the uneasy embrace between nature and technology. In a city wrestling with the weight of cruise ships and rising tides, one must ask: can innovation coexist with fragility? And yet, it is precisely this tension that Casa Sanlorenzo seeks to explore, through a Salon-style space where thought, design and art intersect. Casa Sanlorenzo is designed as a visionary arts center and is an extension of the Sanlorenzo Arts project–a creative incubator where nautical production is juxtaposed with art, design and culture in a sustainable framework. Casa Sanlorenzo Exteriors Housed within a restored 1940s villa, reimagined by visionary architect Piero Lissoni, Casa Sanlorenzo is both contemporary and eternal. Lissoni–with his studio Lissoni & Partners–updated the space that spans almost 11,000 square feet with a generously sized garden, as well as a private apartment. The garden and gallery space will host exhibitions, shows and talks throughout the year to coincide with major cultural events in Venice such as the art and architecture Biennales. The Casa is designed to create a living dialogue between eras, aesthetics, and ideas. Here, white walls serve as breath between thoughts, showcasing Sanlorenzo's contemporary art collection, which bridges the radical transformations of post-1965 to the daring expressions of today. Casa Sanlorenzo Exteriors Lissoni has not erased the building's soul but coaxed it gently into the present. Brick facades glow with renewed dignity and modernity takes shape in glass staircases and concrete expanses, paired with Portoro marble and Palladian stone. In this fusion, past and future clasp hands. Outside the Casa Sanlorenzo, a contemplative Venetian Garden offers space for contemplation. Extending from the Casa like a whisper across the lagoon, is an architecturally daring new bridge designed by Piero Lissoni in a contemporary style yet with respect for Venetian heritage. A rarity in Venice where historic Renaissance design is King–the new bridge is a contemporary reinterpretation of a Venetian Ponte, constructed from prefabricated metal with a path of Istrian stone. Piero Lissoni comments: 'This bridge is not simply architecture. It's a symbol. A cultural connector. Indeed, one does not merely walk across—it passes through you, inviting reflection on what it means to move forward while holding memory.' As part of Venice Climate Week, Casa Sanlorenzo hosts the 'Sanlorenzo Talks', a series of candid conversations about sustainability, design and the ecological imperative of our age. During the talks leading voices from science, industry and the arts gather to explore how creativity can become an engine of change. The message is clear: beauty alone is no longer enough—it must be paired with ethics. That ethos extends to the jewel of Sanlorenzo's nautical artistry: the newly revealed Almax, a 50-meter superyacht that glides with the conscience of a new era. Sleek and sculptural, Almax's interiors are designed by Lissoni with exteriors by Zuccon International Project. Sanlorenzo's commitment to environmentally friendly yachting is reflected in the Reformer Fuel Cell, powered by green methanol-derived hydrogen to ensure zero emissions during onboard operations. Inside, Almax evokes a serene New York penthouse adrift at sea: pale wood floors, glass walls, bespoke furnishings, and an almost meditative atmosphere. The Almax exemplifies Sanlorenzo's embrace of art, architecture and design–a philosophy which is mirrored in Casa Sanlorenzo—a celebration of restraint, intention, and aesthetic harmony. Highlights of Casa Sanlorenzo's art collection include commanding works on the upper floor including a vast map by Arte Povera artist Alighiero Boetti and a slashed red canvas by Lucio Fontana–giants of contemporary Italian art–while the ground floor galleries offer a monochrome meditation by photographer Marco Palmieri, who is taking part in the inaugural Sanlorenzo Talks. Works by German painter Emil Michael Klein are also featured. Marco Palmieri exhbition at Casa Sanlorenzo, Venezia © Lee Sharrock In all of this—the yacht, the bridge, the gallery—there is a consistent throughline: a belief that design is not decoration but direction. That architecture can be activism. That art is not passive, but participatory. Massimo Perotti, Executive Chairman Sanlorenzo said at the launch: 'Our aim with Casa Sanlorenzo is to offer a reference point for initiatives linked to the world of Sanlorenzo Arts, an entity conceived with the goal of celebrating and supporting the union between art, design and culture, where innovation and creativity can flourish without limits. Casa Sanlorenzo becomes a place where one enters to stop, reflect and share. A space of research, where art does not simply adorn, but rather interrogates. Where design does not impress, but guides. Where beauty is never for its own sake, but the bearer of ethics. In an increasingly virtual world, we wanted to invest in presence, in meaningful encounters, and in shared experiences. Because we believe that authenticity requires substance, time, and human connection. And Venice is the perfect place for this project.' Casa Sanlorenzo Founded in 1958, the Sanlorenzo shipyard has traveled far from its humble beginnings in Limite sull'Arno. Over decades it has grown and now has six shipyards across Italy. Through its Fondazione Sanlorenzo–founded in 2021–the company extends its hand to Italy's forgotten islands and communities, working to uplift, educate, and connect. Through Sanlorenzo Arts, it fosters the convergence of craftsmanship, culture and technology. And now, with Casa Sanlorenzo, this commitment takes architectural form. A place where yacht design steps ashore and becomes philosophy. Venice has long been a city of arrivals and departures, a threshold between lands and dreams. Now, with Casa Sanlorenzo, it welcomes a new kind of voyager—not a traveler seeking escape, but one seeking an anchor. Casa Sanlorenzo is a living organism, one that breathes through its spaces and speaks through its exhibitions. It also feels like Sanlorenzo's version of a love letter to Venice and declaration of its wish to be a custodian of culture by providing a permanent arts space where art, architecture, design, education and sustainability can converge.

Al Hilal submit official bid to Napoli for Victor Osimhen
Al Hilal is desperate in signing Victor Osimhen as they want a new striker in their squad. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on June 6, 2025, 08:34 IST Al Hilal is desperate in signing Victor Osimhen as they want a new striker in their squad. Al Hilal has also submitted a bid to sign him. €65m + €5m in add-ons have been submitted to Napoli. It is now to the Serie A side whether they want to sell their striker for this price or they want to ask for more. Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal have made a bold move in the summer transfer market by submitting a formal bid for Napoli star Victor Osimhen. The Riyadh-based club have tabled an offer worth €65 million plus €5 million in add-ons, showing their intent to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season. Al Hilal are desperate to land a top-class striker, and Osimhen has emerged as their primary target. The Nigerian forward has been on the radar of several clubs following his impressive performances for Napoli in recent seasons, including helping them win the Serie A title in 2022–23. It is now up to Napoli to decide whether they will accept the offer or hold out for a higher fee. The Italian club have previously been reluctant to let Osimhen go for anything less than his release clause, believed to be significantly higher than the current bid. With Al Hilal pushing hard to close the deal, all eyes are now on Napoli and how they respond in the coming days.

Beaufort program to highlight businesses serving genuine, local or American-harvested seafood
BEAUFORT, S.C. (WSAV) — Have you ever sat down at a restaurant and wondered if the seafood you planned to order came directly from local waters? That's the goal of a new program that will soon hit tables in Beaufort. The 'Only from Our Waters' program will highlight businesses in the area that serve genuine, local or American-harvested seafood. 'We developed this program to honor them, also create economic activity and hone in on that local flavor,' said Ashlee Houck, the President and CEO of the Beaufort Area Hospitality Association (BAHA). 'Beaufort is known for its shrimp, It's oysters, crabs and the local seafood here.' Craig Reaves, the owner of Sea Eagle Market, and a large seafood distributor to several local restaurants and businesses in the area, said this program would help boost his business. He's been involved in the creation and process of the program. 'It's great that they're (BAHA) concerned for the long-term vision of the seafood industry, and specifically the shrimping industry,' Reaves said. Many shrimpers have said that around 60% of seafood eaten in the United States is imported from overseas. Reaves said that hurts small family-owned businesses who are working hard to provide fresh seafood to locals and businesses. 'Good seafood ain't cheap and cheap seafood ain't good,' said Reaves. Reaves said that many coastal restaurants talk about working with the local industry, but don't put words into action. 'There's a lot of attention on imported shrimp and how much fraud in restaurants that are claiming local but using imported Seafoods,' Reaves said. Nick Borreggine, the owner of Scratch Italian restaurant and Shellring Ale Works, said he's been involved with the process and creation of the program alongside Reaves and Houck. 'We want to support our friends and colleagues and our local seafood fishermen, shrimpers in this case. They are our neighbors. They provide a quality of life that is unmatched here.' He said this program matters because the fresh seafood caught and served locally, is a representation of what Beaufort has to offer. 'The Indonesian farm raised shrimp that that is pumped full of antibiotics is not the same quality, so if a tourist comes into town has some of those shrimps, they're going to walk away from Beaufort and say, 'I don't see what's so special about this,'' said Borreggine. 'That's not what we want. We want to put our best foot forward. A rising tide helps all boats. In this case, it's our local shrimpers.' The program will place a logo on a menu or door fronts of restaurants and businesses. That will prove if they are serving genuine local, or American-harvested seafood. 'Our consumers want local shrimp. So not only is it our responsibility to give them that, but it's truth in advertising. We want to make sure that it is local shrimp,' said Borreggine. Houck said the goal is to not only support shrimpers, but Beaufort's overall economy. People want to support local fishermen. They want to support American caught seafood. It's really important and vital to America because a lot of the areas within our community have been built upon local seafood,' said Houck. 'Destin, Florida is one of them. The Maine harbor. You know, so many various areas were built on being a fishing town. So, there is definitely a piece of those gears that make our economy run.' As of now, the plan for the program is to start with just shrimp, and then eventually branch out to other local seafood caught in local or American waters. They said the hope is to have the program fully rolled out and on menus by October of this year, just in time for Beaufort's annual Shrimp Festival. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
