Amministratore Unico di L’idea di VID Venice Innovation Design nasce proprio dalla volontà San Servolo srl di fare sintesi tra il pubblico e il privato, tra capacità artigianali ed artistiche, tra manifattura di precisione e di ricerca realizzate in un luogo di respiro internazionale, di grande bellezza, aperto al mondo culturale e imprenditoriale più dinamico com’è oggi l’isola di San Servolo. Questa prima edizione del progetto lancia l’idea di un laboratorio di design e di una vetrina prestigiosa a Venezia: VID guarda infatti al mondo dell’architettura proponendosi come sede espositiva permanente e mettendo a disposizione di alcune tra le più prestigiose aziende italiane gli spazi e il parco dell’Isola di San Servolo dove progettare e realizzare insieme interventi di design estroso e funzionale al tempo stesso. L’Isola diventa così un vero e proprio laboratorio in progress, una piattaforma multifunzionale sulla quale applicare l’originale ingegno e le competenze delle più significative imprese italiane che avranno così a disposizione una nuova formula espositiva e promozionale di grande rilievo, capace di conferire ai loro interventi una visibilità continuativa, in uno dei palcoscenici tra i più prestigiosi e dinamici: Venezia. Il mondo delle aziende oggi è un interlocutore fondamentale nel percorso di valorizzazione del bene pubblico. Da questo dialogo, avviato in occasione di VID 2018, le funzioni congressuali, culturali e di ricerca dell’isola di San Servolo saranno ancor di più potenziate per meglio rispondere alle esigenze e aspettative espresse dai nostri numerosi Ospiti. 8 9 SAN SERVOLO L’ISOLA DEL DESIGN SAN SERVOLO L’ISOLA DEL DESIGN Public «» Private: a virtuous dialogue The creativity and ability of a leading company applied to a Andrea successful structure with public objectives come together in VID, Berro a precious and important opportunity to express the best of Italy. Sole Director of San Servolo srl The idea of VID Venice Innovation Design is inspired by the desire for a fusion between the public and private sector, between the skills of craftsmen and artists and between precision manufacturing and research, set in an internationally significant context of great beauty, open to the most dynamic world of culture and business, such as the Island of San Servolo today. This first edition of the project launches the idea of a design laboratory and prestigious showcase for Venice. VID in fact looks to the world of architecture, offering itself as a permanent exhibition venue and making San Servolo’s spaces and park available to some of Italy’s most prestigious companies as a place to design and implement joint design projects which are both creative and at the same time functional. The island thus becomes an authentic laboratory in progress, a multifunctional platform on which to apply the original ingenuity and skills of Italy's most significant companies, which will thus have at their disposal an important new exhibition and promotion formula, able to give their work continuous visibility in one of the world's most prestigious and dynamic settings: Venice. The business world is today a fundamental interlocutor in the valorisation of public assets. From this dialogue, initiated during VID 2018, the conference, cultural and research functions of the Island of San Servolo will be further amplified to provide a better response to the needs and expectations of our numerous guests. 10 11 SAN SERVOLO L’ISOLA DEL DESIGN SAN SERVOLO L’ISOLA DEL DESIGN Isola di San Servolo: la memoria incontra la Storia... Nel ‘900 l’Isola di San Servolo ha visto la nascita del primo insediamento Benedettino nella Laguna di Venezia. I monaci benedettini hanno raccolto manoscritti, diffuso la conoscenza del mondo antico e medievale per un millennio. Con l’avvento di Napoleone nel 1796 furono dissolti gli ordini monastici e l’Isola si trasformò in un lazzaretto militare. Successivamente, durante il dominio austriaco, la struttura fu trasformata in un istituto psichiatrico, rimanendo attivo fino al 1978, quando con la Legge n. 180 cosiddetta “Basaglia” furono chiusi gli ospedali psichiatrici in Italia. Da quel momento le strutture dell’Isola furono abbandonate e lasciate in uno stato di decadenza sino agli anni ’90, quando venne eseguito uno degli interventi di restauro più complessi e impegnativi tra quelli portati a termine dalla Provincia di Venezia – oggi Città metropolitana di Venezia –, non solo per la qualità dei beni salvaguardati e per l’impegno finanziario che ha ridato l’antico splendore alle pietre, ma soprattutto per aver restituito l’Isola alla comunità e averla fatta diventare parte dinamica della vita culturale veneziana. ... in un luogo di eccellenza Continuando la tradizione di studio e di ricerca che ha caratterizzato l’antico monastero benedettino, l’Isola di San Servolo è oggi uno tra i principali centri congressuali e di formazione della città di Venezia. L’isola, di proprietà della Città metropolitana di Venezia, è gestita e valorizzata dalla Società San Servolo srl ed Ospita ogni anno oltre 170 eventi tra corsi, congressi, rassegne musicali, mostre temporanee e festival seguiti mediamente da 15.000 persone. L’Isola è anche la sede della Venice International University, del Collegio Internazionale di Merito dell’Università Ca’ Foscari con i suoi 50 migliori studenti che vivono e studiano in Isola, di una sezione dell’Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia e della Fondazione Franca e Franco Basaglia. Recentemente si è insediata a San Servolo la prestigiosa Neuroscience School of Advanced Studies.

    Glassblowers of Venice kept their art so secret that it almost died out By Associated Press, adapted by Newsela staff on 02.11.16 Word Count 620 Glassblower William Gudenrath puts enamel on a bowl with techniques used by Renaissance Venetians at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, Jan. 22, 2016. Gudenrath spent decades researching how Renaissance glassmakers produced objects that are now considered works of art. Photo: AP/Mike Groll ALBANY, N.Y. — A modern-day glassblower believes he has unraveled the mysteries of Venetian glassmaking that was crafted during the Renaissance. The Renaissance was a cultural movement in Europe that lasted from the 1300s to the 1600s. During that period, glassmakers' secrets were closely guarded by the Venetian government. Anyone who spoke of them could be killed. Specially Skilled Craftsmen Today's glassblowers work with gas-fired furnaces and electric-powered ovens called kilns. Their studios are well lit and have proper air ventilation. The craftsmen of Murano, an island near Venice, Italy, did not have such technology. Yet they turned out pieces of art popular in museums today. The techniques, or the methods they used to make the objects, remained sought after for centuries. William Gudenrath spent years studying Venetian glass collections at American and European museums. He compared them with newer glasswork from Venice. He experimented on his own and traveled to Italy many times. Gudenrath combined all of his knowledge to produce an online guide. Guiding Modern Artists The guide is called "The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking." It was recently posted on the website of the Corning Museum of Glass in New York.

  • 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.

Anche quest’anno, andremo alla ricerca di angoli nascosti della nostra laguna, ovvero di qualche luogo che magari abbiamo già visitato con il nostro gommone, ma forse troppo in fretta e senza ben conoscerne la storia. Attraverseremo dunque tutta la laguna partendo da Sud (così potremo anche dar libero sfogo ai nostri cavalli, mare permettendo!), iniziando dalla Valle Millecampi, e per la precisione dal Casone Millecampi, caratteristico esempio di architettura lagunare dei secoli scorsi, inserito in un contesto ambientale molto suggestivo. E' l'unico lembo lagunare della Provincia di Padova, poco lontano da Chioggia, al di la dei grandi scavi di canalizzazione e deviazione dei fiumi Brenta e Bacchighione. Tutt'attorno la terraferma strappata alla laguna con le opere di bonifica iniziate già nel 1500 per volere del ricco possidente, nonché famoso mecenate, Alvise Cornaro. Qui ormeggeremo per una visita al luogo, recentemente ristrutturato. Pranzo al sacco, e nel pomeriggio, partenza per l’Isola della Certosa, situata nelle immediate vicinanze di Venezia, dove ormeggeremo e allestiremo le tende per la notte. L’isola, che fino a 10 anni fa giaceva in stato di abbandono, è stata recentemente interessata da un ampio processo di valorizzazione, nel rispetto dell’ambiente e del particolare contesto storico e ambientale della Laguna di Venezia. Infatti, dapprima è stata costruita una darsena, con circa 300 posti barca fino a 40 metri.

    Murano Energy Reduction An Investigation of Technologies to Reduce Fuel Consumption in Artistic Glass Furnaces An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted By: Keith Ferry Nicholas McMahon Andrea Portnoy Jacob Troiano Sponsoring Agency: Stazione Sperimentale del Vetro Project Advisors: Fabio Carrera Scott Jiusto December 15, 2006 [email protected] Acknowledgements The Murano team would like to thank the following people for guidance and assistance over the course of our project: Dr. Bianca Maria Scalet Charles Correll Professor Scott Jiusto Professor Fabio Carrera The Venice Project Center Staff Alberto Deste Dr. Roberto Dall’Igna Antonio Tucci Guido Ferro Farnea Mariangelo Our Parents i Abstract This project, sponsored by the Stazione Sperimentale del Vetro, a research laboratory funded by the glass industry located in Murano, Italy, assessed the technologies available for increasing fuel efficiency in artistic glass furnaces. The project team collected and analyzed data on natural gas consumption and emissions for different technologies and compared it to data from furnaces currently in operation to model the expected savings for each technology. The results show the potential for a 35% increase in efficiency but warrant further studies. The project concludes by recommending a testing procedure to further assess both oxycombustion and recuperative burners. ii Executive Summary The focus of this project was the reduction of energy use for the glass industry of Murano, Italy. Murano has been known for glass manufacturing since the industry moved there from Venice in the late thirteenth century.

Phytoplankton was dominated by its nano- and pico-fractions, which comprised 60 to 99":# of the total phytoplankton biomass. Phytoplank- ton wet biomass varied between 100 and 600 mg m-.' and its primary production between 30 and 90 mg C m ' d.' The nume~icalabundance of bactel-ioplankton (3 to 6 X 10" cells ml-'l and its wet biomass (0.3to 1 g m-" was 2 to 3 times greater than in adjacent waters of the Adriatic. Bacterial production was 20 to 40 mg C m-'d.'. hdicrozooplankton was dominated by cillates with blo~nassesof 30 to 700 mg m-', while the density of rotifers and nauplii was low. The composition of mesozooplankton resembled that of the Adriatic complex only near the port entrances connecting the lagoon to the sea, while in polluted areas it was drastically depleted. Its average wet biomass was 80 to 300 mg m-', attaming 700 to 1100 mg m-' near the port entrances.

Examining the data collected by prior IQP groups, we agreed on a definition of “public art” that included not only decorative pieces but also structural and functional ones. Our next task was to incorporate missing objects into the database. We systematically searched every public street on the lagoon islands of Burano, Mazzorbo, Murano and Torcello, recording condition data for the pieces found and updating the database with the new information.
