At the end of December, as part of the exhibition "Love for Three Oranges. Casanova's Venice - Diaghilev's Petersburg" (https://clck.ru/32hrSv), a lecture by Kirill Nazarenko was held. Everyone knows that Peter the Great visited Holland and England during his first trip abroad, and sent Russian people there to study seamanship. But few people know that Peter planned to end his European tour in Venice, and that Russian navigators also studied there. In the late 17th - early 18th centuries, several dozen young people from Russia found themselves in a city of canals and carnivals, full of wonders and temptations. Most of them were able to learn navigation and shipbuilding and return to their homeland, but some plunged headlong into adventures and even died in duels. Kirill Nazarenko's lecture will be dedicated to the incredible adventures of Russian people of the 18th century in Italy. Kirill Nazarenko is a doctor of historical sciences, deputy director of the Institute of History of St. Petersburg State University, author of dozens of documentary books and monographs.
