The infrared thermography applied to cultural and monumental goods diagnostic is one of more consolidated non-invasive techniques used actually. Its popularity is mainly due to its capacity to indentify non visible faults, humidity and others normal occurrences in works of art. In this work the experimental results obtained through the infrared thermography implementation on samples of the Basilica della Salute (Venice – Italy) floor are presented. The experimental procedures have been carried out using active thermography where the artificial heating has been obtained through the use of tungsten lamps. The thermal analysis allowed to identify restoration operations due to materials used which have different origin of the base material and, consequently, different thermal diffusivity and emissivity. The influence of the superficial color over the results is also discussed.

Canal Grande (The Grand Canal)
Canal Grande (The Grand Canal) Night shot of the Canal Grande or Grand Canal of Venice, Italy The Canal Grande and the Canale della Giudecca are the two most important waterways in Venice. They undoubtedly fall into the category of one of the premier tourist attractions in Venice. The Canal Grande separates Venice into two distinct parts, which were once popularly referred to as 'de citra' and 'de ultra' from the point of view of Saint Mark's Basilica, and these two parts of Venice are linked by the Rialto bridge. The Rialto Bridge is the most ancient bridge in Venice.; it is completely made of stone and its construction dates back to the 16th century. The Canal Grande or the Grand Canal forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the beautiful city of Venice. The most popular mode of public transportation is traveling by the water bus and by private water taxis. This canal crisscrosses the entire city of Venice, and it begins its journey from the lagoon near the train station and resembles a large S-shape through the central districts of the "sestiere" in Venice, and then comes to an end at the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute near the Piazza San Marco. The major portion of the traffic of the city of Venice goes along the Canal Grande, and thus to avoid congestion of traffic there are already three bridges – the Ponte dei Scalzi, the Ponte dell'Accademia, and the Rialto Bridge, while another bridge is being constructed. The new bridge is designed by Santiago Calatrava, and it will link the train station to the Piazzale Roma.

Introducing Venice
INTRODUCING VENICE A fleet of gondoliers, among others, navigates the riches of the Grand Canal (p125) From the look of it, you'd think Venice spent all its time primping. Bask in the glory of Grand Canal pal- aces, but make no mistake: this city's a powerhouse. You may have heard that Venice is an engineering marvel, with marble cathedrals built atop ancient posts driven deep into the barene (mud banks) – but the truth is that this city is built on sheer nerve. Reasonable people might blanch at water approaching their doorsteps and flee at the first sign of acqua alta (high tide). But reason can’t compare to Venetian resolve. Instead of bailing out, Venetians have flooded the world with voluptuous Venetian-red paintings and wines, music, Marco Polo spice-route flavours, and bohemian-chic fashion. And they’re not done yet. VENICE LIFE With the world’s most artistic masterpieces per square kilometre, you’d think the city would take it easy, maybe rest on its laurels. But Venice refuses to retire from the inspiration business. In narrow calli (alleyways), you’ll glimpse artisans hammering out shoes crested like lagoon birds, cooks whipping up four-star dishes on single-burner hotplates, and musicians lugging 18th-century cellos to riveting baroque concerts played with punk-rock bravado. As you can see, all those 19th-century Romantics got it wrong. Venice is not destined for genteel decay. Billion- aire benefactors and cutting-edge biennales are filling up those ancient palazzi (palaces) with restored masterpieces and eyebrow-raising contemporary art and architecture, and back-alley galleries and artisan showrooms are springing up in their shadows.

1 ARTS1175 Drawing from the Venetian Masters 2016 by Stoney
ARTS1175 Drawing from the Venetian Masters 2016 By Stoney Conley May 29 to June 26th, 2016 In this class students connect to the visual arts tradition by visually internalizing it through drawing. Drawing forces one to slowly observe each aspect of the master picture: underlying narrative, the formal organization, and structure of the image. One distills the organization into a drawing that reveals the underlying composition. Drawing from a master forces one to understand the visual language used to construct the image, how the dark and light forms are organized, the arrangement and use of color, the role of light and space. Each drawing is a problem to solve. Which quality of the original does one want to keep as a reminder of the primary experience? Students will strive to ensnare a sense of the whole picture with a few lines, or simplified forms, to distill the organization of a masterwork into a small sketch. This introductory level Fine Arts Studio course will introduce students to the process, materials, and issues addressed in exploration of the basic principles and concepts of making visual artworks. The class assignments will examine historical approaches, concepts, techniques and skills involved through drawing assignments. Drawing is a crucial companion to seeing, an opportunity for the student to train their vision, and is the fundamental skill, the beginning of an understanding of the language of visual art. Classes will introduce basic drawing skills and then we will apply them by drawing from masterworks. The course emphasis therefore is twofold: first, the command of basic formal concepts and skills: the page, how mark, shape, value, scale, and composition interact to become a visual language, and secondly, an introduction to the great masterworks of Venice.

The Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia Regions
DEPAUW SUMMER 2015 Explore Italy REGIONS AND CITIES OF NORTHEASTERN ITALY The Authentic Italy Northeastern Italy is composed of two regions, Veneto and Friuli Venezia-Giulia. At the geographical heart of Europe, the area has played host to many different peoples and cultures, including the Celts, Romans, Huns, Byzantines, Lombards, Franks, Venetians, French, and Hapsburgs, before becoming regions of Italy. The result is an area rich in diverse architecture and art, and one with world-class cuisine and wine. The two regions are home to no less than eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The New York Times recently called Friuli “Italy’s Secret Garden,” and the region has only lately been discovered by non- The Veneto and Friuli Venezia Europeans. Giulia Regions “Friuli is the great undiscovered region of Italy: It has beautiful beaches on the Adriatic, stunning undiscovered alps in Carnia, idyllic scenery in the winegrowing district known as Collio, vibrant and handsome cities such as Udine and mysterious Trieste, historical centers such as Aquileia and Cividale del Friuli, wonderful food and wine, great coffee, good cultural facilities, and above all some of the warmest, most welcoming people you will ever meet.” Slovenia & Croatia A town of ancient origins on the coast of the Istrian peninsula, 25 km from Italy, Piran was voluntarily absorbed into the Venetian empire in 1283 when Croatian pirates were continually threatening the Dalmatian coast. Many Venetian artists visited and worked in Piran, including the famed Piranese violinist Giuseppe Tartini (born in Piran) and the Venetian master painter Tintoretto, one of whose paintings can be seen in the local museum.
