context_page_description: Ca' Foscari, the palace of the Foscari family, is a Gothic building on the waterfront of the Grand Canal in the Dorsoduro sestiere of Venice, Italy.
  It was built for the doge Francesco Foscari in 1453, and designed by the architect Bartolomeo Bon. It is now the main seat of Ca' Foscari University of Venice.
  The palace is located on the widest bend of the Grand Canal. Here, during the annual Regata Storica, held on the first Sunday in September, a floating wooden structure known as La Machina is placed; this is also the site of the finishing line, and the venue for prize-giving.
context_section_description: Mario De Luigi was a close friend of Carlo Scarpa; they both attended the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice and they worked together in the field of design and town planning; he was assistant of Arturo Martini at the Academy, then he started teaching scenography at University IUAV of Venice. De Luigi was asked to decorate a room on the first floor of Ca' Foscari palace; afterwards  the painting was moved to the second floor, in the great hall Mario Baratto.  The painting portrays a philosopher among his students.
