In 1473, the Senate in Venice ordered the building of the Arsenale Nuovissino, in order to have a safe shed to store weapons and boats that would always be available in case of war.

One of the two main venues for the Biennale the Arsenale comes alive with a huge variety of international contemporary art. In many ways the immense volumes of the former industrial buildings provide more flexible spaces for showing innovative art installations than the static pavilions in the Giardini. There are also external installations on the dockside and a free shuttle water bus taking visitors across to the other part of the Arsenale which has exhibitions related to the Biennale and Lorenzo Quinn's amazing sculptural installation 'Building Bridges'. All this of course will disappear when the Biennale closes at the end of November.

The Fort is named after the Monte Ricco on which it stands and that already had a defensive role in pre-Roman times. In the Early Middle Ages, it was occupied by a castle, whose tower, with that of Botestagno, features in the Cadore coat of arms. In 1420 the castle housed the Captain sent from Venice and its fate became that of the Serenissima. The Reign of Italy had two fortifications built: Castello Battery and the Fort, including them in the defensive system against the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1918 after Caporetto they were blown up by the Austrian army. In 2007 the Municipality of Pieve undertook their restoration, completed in 2017 in collaboration with the Fine Arts and Landscape Office and thanks to the significant sponsorship of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio of Verona, Vicenza, Belluno, and Ancona.
