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.

Presentazione I Tesori Della Laguna Venezia 2015
Via Bastie, 112/D – 30034 Dogaletto di Mira (VE) - tel. 348 9491120 www.mavericknauticlub.com - email: [email protected] 16 – 17 maggio 2015 7° EDIZIONE “““I“III TESORI DELLA LAGUNA DI VENEZIAVENEZIA”””” Cari Soci e Amici, benvenuti alla VII° edizione dei Tesori della Laguna di Venezia. 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. -
L'archeologia Nella Laguna Veneziana E La Nascita Di Una Nuova Città

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. -
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. -

ANTONIO CANALETTO, Basin of San Marco from San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice Ca
Both the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution began in the eighteenth century, and with them came the dominance of modern science. The Enlightenment Enlightenment (or “Age of Reason”): A movement in 18th century thought. Its central idea was the need for (and the capacity of) human reason to clear away ancient superstition, prejudice, dogma, and injustice. Enlightenment thinking encouraged rational scientific inquiry, humanitarian tolerance, and the idea of universal human rights. These thoughts mobilized a widespread dissatisfaction with contemporary social and political ills, and culminated with the American (1774-1783) and French (1789–1799) Revolutions. 3:31 – John Locke and Voltaire http://youtu.be/K7q5oT-X_PI Neoclassicism: mid 18th - mid 19th c. Relating to, or constituting a revival or adaptation of the classical style. It originated as a reaction to the Baroque and the sensuous and decorative Rococo style . Neoclassicism sought to revive the ideals of ancient Greek and Roman art. Neoclassic artists used classical forms to express their ideas about courage, sacrifice, and love of their country.
