Peter Marino to Be Honored at the World Monuments Fund Annual Hadrian Gala

Peter Marino will be honored during the World Monuments Fund’s 35th annual Hadrian Gala on Oct. 28. Every fall the event pays tribute to individuals and organizations committed to the preservation of culturally significant architectural sites worldwide. Marino, who chairs a nonprofit dedicated to the cultural legacy of Venice, will be honored alongside art historian and World Monuments Fund Chair Emerita Dr. Marilyn Perry. “It’s a great privilege to be recognized by World Monuments Fund at this year’s Hadrian Gala and support WMF’s mission to preserve and protect the world’s architectural and cultural heritage,” said Marino of the honor. “As chairman of Venetian Heritage, I work to preserve and restore the architecture and art in one of my favorite cities — Venice — which WMF has also worked tirelessly to protect.” This year’s gala, sponsored by Tiffany & Co., is cochaired by Donna Perret Rosen and Melissa Stewart, with honorary cochairs including Prince Amyn Aga Khan, Joan Hardy Clark, and Katherine Rayner. The World Monuments Summit will take place prior to the gala on Oct. 26. The dinner and awards ceremony will take place at the New York Public Library’s Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. The evening will feature a performance by opera singer Anthony Roth
