September, 2007
In the month of September Paradise Lost, the First Roma Pavilion at the Venice Biennale had around 3,800 visitors. Over 17,000 gusts from around the world visited the
Pavilion since its opening in June.
The
average number of visitors in September was between 120-170 a day, with a peak of 215 in one day.
This is
a big success, given the exhibition is a little apart from the main Biennale area where
national pavilions are featured.
According
to the number of visitors, it is probably one of the most popular pavilions at the Biennale.
