The Italian Pavilion was built by Duilio Torres. The "Venice pavilion" was created by Brenno Del Giudice destined in its central body to the decorative arts section and in the wings to welcome foreign countries without their own headquarters. Jury and prizes The jury composed by Italico Ottone, Elio Zorzi and Domenico Varagnolo, awarded the Special Mention Prize of the Venice Biennale to Antonio Rotta, not only for the very high quality of his works, for the best historical representation of the themes of the Venetian society of his time, in the concept of the movement of Genre painting, of which Antonio Rotta was the most represented painter in Europe. Antonio Rotta was exhibited at the XVIII International Art Exhibition by the will of the City of Venice, the City Council and the Mayor of Venice, as a symbolic artist, and icon of the painters of Venice, to celebrate the expeditious anniversary of the thirty years of the Venice Biennale Exhibition.XVIII Esposizione Biennale internazionale d'arte 1932.
