ZANCHIN 1 Abstract: Until its end the Serenissima constantly supported the contagionist hypothesis, playing for all the span of its history the role of pioneer and model for the measures adopted to prevent the diffusion of epidemics. The sanitary preoccupations of the Republic were particularly directed upon people and goods arriving from the territories of the Ottoman Empire from where periodic bouts of plague originated. The examination of the written and iconographic primary sources here considered puts in evidence relevant aspects of the Venetian fight against the plague Key words: Republic of Venice, plague, epidemics, lazaret, quarantine, osella.

Saint Mark's Square As Contested Political Space
SAINT MARK’S SQUARE AS CONTESTED POLITICAL SPACE: PROTESTING CRUISE TOURISM IN VENICE [ReceiveD 21st October 2020; accepteD February 21st 2021 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.119] AlexanDer Araya López Ca’ Foscari University, Venice < [email protected]> ABSTRACT: Saint Mark’s Square is unquestionably the most famous tourist attraction in Venice, a piazza characterised by its complex history, unique aesthetics anD many allusions to power (given its proximity to the Doge’s Palace anD Saint Mark’s Basilica). This square is the largest open space in the city anD while it is routinely crowDeD with tourists from all over the worlD, political Demonstrations have been prohibiteD since 1997. This article explores Saint Mark’s Square as a contested political space by focusing on the many local struggles against cruise tourism in Venice anD its lagoon. InsteaD of constituting an ‘apolitical’ space, the preferreD uses given to the square by local authorities and tourism stakeholders are manifestly ‘political’, producing a space of leisure and consumption that benefits the economic logic behinD the ‘normal’ functioning of the piazza. Other alternative social anD political uses of the square are not only DiscourageD but banned, which brings into Discussion the Lefebvrian notion of the right to the city: who has access to the centre as a (political) privilegeD space? The article examines protest acts undertaken by the collective No Grandi Navi, particularly the political events that took place after the MSC Opera collision with another tourist vessel anD the Dock in June 2019. KEYWORDS: public sphere, protest, cruise tourism, policing, urban spaces. IntroDuction: Global mass tourism anD Venice as a ‘tourist’ city In June 2020, while the coronavirus panDemic forceD many cities anD tourist Destinations to impose harsh lockDowns, Dozens of cruise ships were stranDeD at Manila Bay in the Philippines (Fonbuena anD McCormick, 2020). -
Le Isole Minori Elisabetta Vulcano 2009
CITTA’ DI VENEZIA Assessorato Ambiente - Osservatorio Naturalistico della Laguna Centro Studi Riviera del Brenta In collaborazione con: Coop. Hyla – CAI – Uff. Educazione Ambientale – Istituzione Parco Laguna Corso didattico formativo LA LAGUNA DI VENEZIA: genesi, evoluzione, naturalità e salvaguardia - Anno 2008/2009 - LE ISOLE MINORI: UN PATRIMONIO DELLA STORIA ALLA DERIVA DEL PRESENTE Elisabetta Vulcano (Architetto) La struttura topografica della città nelle sue linee generali è già formata nella prima metà del XIII secolo. La pianta di Venezia disegnata da Paolino da Venezia (1270-1344), e inserita nel suo “Compendium” detto anche “Chronologia magna” (1346), restituisce la forma della città secondo un aspetto cronologico: come doveva presentarsi Venezia nel IX secolo (ma con alcuni particolari riferiti addirittura all'VIII secolo) e come doveva essere nel XII secolo, con aggiunte relative alla sua configurazione coeva all'autore. Dopo la morte di Fra' Paolino la pianta pergamenacea rimase nascosta a tutti per quattrocento anni. Solo nel 1730 Tomaso Temanza scoprì la pergamena e nel 1781 realizzò una incisone su rame nella quale riportò con una calligrafia più chiara il disegno e le scritte, incisione che diede alle stampe.

Are Four Centuries of Systemic Segregation Coming to an End?
EOTVOS LORAND UNIVERSITY European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratization 2016/2017 Are Four Centuries of Systemic Segregation Coming to an End? A socio-historical analysis of custodial care with case studies on deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities in Bulgaria and Serbia. Author: Lazar Stefanović Supervisor: prof. Dr. Katalin Tausz ABSTRACT This study encompasses the phenomenon of institutionalisation of persons with mental disabilities in a holistic manner, from its rise to the fall as the only mainstream form of care for this group. The phenomenon of the period of “great confinement” with regards to persons with mental disorders determined the later development of custodial care systems; hence my thesis examines wrongness of the inveteracy of punitive and control oriented care that was long taken for granted. The perception of mental disorders progressed significantly after the aforementioned period; still today we are able to detect worryingly outdated approaches to mental disability as well as some features of the custodial care that were present a few centuries ago. A significant breakthrough happened with introduction of somewhat vague concept of dignity that allowed theorists and lawmakers to further develop understanding of this concept and incorporate it in international legal instruments. The position of dignity is examined with regards to realization of the rights of persons with mental disabilities and understanding the importance of autonomy as a prerequisite for dignified life. Ultimately, deinstitutionalisation is a tool by which the society loosens the control established upon the persons with mental disorders a long time ago. The case studies focus on the processes of deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities in Bulgaria and Serbia. -

L'archeologia Nella Laguna Veneziana E La Nascita Di Una Nuova Città
Sauro Gelichi L’archeologia nella laguna veneziana e la nascita di una nuova città Reti Medievali Rivista, XI – 2010/2 (luglio-dicembre) <http://www.rivista.retimedievali.it> Le trasformazioni dello spazio urbano nell’alto medioevo (secoli V-VIII). Città mediterranee a confronto a cura di Carmen Eguiluz Méndez e Stefano Gasparri Firenze University Press Reti Medievali Rivista, XI – 2010/2 (luglio-dicembre) <http://www.retimedievali.it> ISSN 1593-2214 © 2010 Firenze University Press L’archeologia nella laguna veneziana e la nascita di una nuova città di Sauro Gelichi 1. Vampiri a Venezia? «Il ritrovamento venerdì 7 marzo [di quest’anno] [....] nell’isola del Laz- zaretto nuovo a Venezia [...] del teschio di una donna (risalente a metà del 17 secolo), con un mattone in bocca, naturalmente un rito svolto in una creatura deceduta per peste, visto che in quell’isola di Venezia sono stati concentrati diversi corpi di defunti per questo terribile morbo, ci riporta a vecchie leggen- de veneziane che narravano di donne vampiro a Venezia»1. La citazione, che peraltro non ci risparmia macabri passaggi, non appartiene a quella tradizio- ne letteraria, favolistico-fantastica, di cui anche una città come Venezia può vantare una discreta produzione (per quanto di bassa qualità), ma si riferisce a un vero ritrovamento, fatto da un “vero” archeologo, in uno scavo (quello del Lazzaretto Nuovo) giustamente defi nito «una bellissima esperienza di isola- laboratorio dove ricerca sul campo e rifl essione procedono secondo ritmi det- tati dal dialogo e dal confronto di studiosi di varie discipline»2. Al sensazionalismo, si sa, non sfuggono purtroppo gli attuali mezzi della comunicazione: se una banale nuova infl uenza messicana diventa la peste del secolo o se qualche schizzo d’acqua in più si trasforma in un uragano, anche l’archeologia non può uscirne indenne. -

MATTM 88‐89‐90; PROV VE 3.6 COMPONENTE "PAESAGGIO", "BENI ARCHITETTONICI E ARCHEOLOGICI" MATTM88: Elaborare uno studio della visualità (bacini, margini, itinerari, coni visuali) e della percezione visiva (verifica delle relazioni di le varie componenti del paesaggio e tra queste e l'opera), fornendo inoltre opportuni fotosimulazioni per la verifica dell'impatto visuale da e verso l'area dell'intervento, con particolare riferimento al centro storico, indicando i punti di scatto per ognuno di essi e considerando non solo il nuovo tracciato del canale con le relative velme ma anche le sagome, in scala, delle navi che l'attraverseranno nella fase di esercizio. Le fotosimulazioni dovranno, quindi, essere ad altezza osservatore, ante operam e post operam, in numero adeguato rispetto ai principali luoghi d'osservazione e di fruizione del territorio interessato. MATTM89: Chiarire le modalità che hanno portato alla definizione dell’area di influenza riportata nella figura 4.42, in considerazione soprattutto delle dimensioni esigue di detta figura, dalla quale risulta impossibile verificare quali siano, come afferma il Proponente, "i principali assi di comunicazione viaria e marittima, i centri abitati, gli spazi aperti costieri e lagunari che comportano elevata visibilità della zona interessata dagli interventi di progetto" utilizzati per l'inviluppo dell'area. MATTM90: Evitare rimandi alla Relazione Paesaggistica, come accade ad esempio in riferimento al rapporto fra l'opera e la componente paesaggistica (pag. 171 dello SIA), poiché tale Relazione è parte di un'altra procedura. 1 Le componenti del paesaggio che caratterizzano l’area interessata dal progetto sono riconducibili ai “caratteri” individuati nella Variante al Piano Territoriale Regionale di Coordinamento con valenza paesaggistica presentato nel 2013. -

Auto-Accretion Powered by Microbial Fuel Cells in the Venetian Lagoon
AUTO-ACCRETION POWERED BY MICROBIAL FUEL CELLS IN THE VENETIAN LAGOON By: Jessica Balesano Jodi Lowell March 10, 2008 AUTO-ACCRETION POWERED BY MICROBIAL FUEL CELLS IN THE VENETIAN LAGOON Jessica Balesano Jodi Lowell Submitted: March 10, 2008 Executive Summary Venice, Italy is a city known for its beautiful architecture, culture, and unique lifestyle. What adds to the romance of the city and sets it apart from all of the others are the canals flowing between the different historical buildings. These canals are the natural dividers for the 110 mud flat islands that make up Venice and are the cornerstone for Venetian life. Not only are the canals the main mode of transportation, but they are also the foundation for all of the buildings along the canals. The walls lining the canals are subjected to stresses inflicted due to their location and contact with the canal waters. These walls are deteriorating, leaving weak building structures and an aesthetically unpleasing appearance. There are many sources of the canal wall damage beyond the mere age of the buildings and materials; one of these sources is moto ondoso, or damage from boat wake. In open waters, the wake from boats can dissipate over a large area. In the canals and narrow waterways in the Venetian lagoon, however, there is less space and opportunity for the kinetic energy of the wave to be reduced before it strikes the canal walls. The impact causes disintegration of the existing wall material and brick mortar. Figure 1 is an example of the damage inflicted by moto ondoso.
