Russell Norman is the founder of London’s Polpo restaurant group which has introduced the concept of the traditional Venetian bacaro serving Italian wines and small plates of tapas-style dishes, called cichetti. Today there are eight branches in London, Brighton and Bristol, but the first restaurant was opened in 2009, in a Soho building once home to Canaletto – a link which inspired Russell to speak at the Canaletto exhibition at the Queen’s Gallery in November 2017. He is passionate about Venice and its culture in all forms, including the culinary traditions of the city which have left their own mark on Venice today.
Russell’s new book ‘Venice: Four Seasons of Home Cooking’ will be available to purchase on the evening.
Venice in Peril Fund is a UK charity which raises funds for the conservation of monuments, works of art and buildings across the city and its islands. In support of its conservation work, Venice in Peril also promotes a deeper understanding of Venice – its complex history, the contribution it has made to world culture and the challenges it faces today – to encourage responsible and informed engagement with the city.
