Overview
- An alarm sounded shortly before 10:00 for a fire on the Serbia pavilion roof in the Biennale Gardens.
- Firefighters quickly contained the main blaze, but strong lagoon winds rekindled hot spots that required repeated interventions.
- Authorities report no injuries and no spread to exhibits, furnishings, or nearby structures based on early checks.
- Multiple fire crews remained on scene with support from Venice local police boat patrols to monitor for flare-ups.
- Responders also deployed a drone to pinpoint residual heat sources as on-site checks continued.
