Sculptor George Petrides offers the public a fascinating journey into the past with his works entitled “Hellenic Heads”. Through these sculptures, the public is invited to explore a time span of 2,500 years of Greek history and culture, from the period of Classical Greece to the present day, passing through significant events such as the Byzantine Empire, the War of Independence, the 'Smyrna fire, the Nazi occupation and the Holocaust.
Positioned in the evocative setting of the San Giorgio dei Greci courtyard, next to the Hellenic Institute of Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Studies in Venice, the six Petrides statues welcome visitors, offering them the opportunity to immerse themselves in a journey steeped in history and culture.
