  • The Mose Machine
    THE MOSE MACHINE An anthropological approach to the building oF a Flood safeguard project in the Venetian Lagoon [Received February 1st 2021; accepted February 16th 2021 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.104] Rita Vianello Ca Foscari University, Venice <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: This article reconstructs and analyses the reactions and perceptions of fishers and inhabitants of the Venetian Lagoon regarding flood events, ecosystem fragility and the saFeguard project named MOSE, which seems to be perceived by residents as a greater risk than floods. Throughout the complex development of the MOSE project, which has involved protracted legislative and technical phases, public opinion has been largely ignored, local knowledge neglected in Favour oF technical agendas and environmental impact has been largely overlooked. Fishers have begun to describe the Lagoon as a ‘sick’ and rapidly changing organism. These reports will be the starting point For investigating the fishers’ interpretations oF the environmental changes they observe during their daily Fishing trips. The cause of these changes is mostly attributed to the MOSE’S invasive anthropogenic intervention. The lack of ethical, aFFective and environmental considerations in the long history of the project has also led to opposition that has involved a conFlict between local and technical knowledge. KEYWORDS: Venetian Lagoon, acqua alta, MOSE dams, traditional ecological knowledge, small-scale Fishing. Introduction Sotto acqua stanno bene solo i pesci [Only the fish are fine under the sea]1 This essay focuses on the reactions and perceptions of fishers facing flood events, ecosystem changes and the saFeguarding MOSE (Modulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico – ‘Experimental Electromechanical Module’) project in the Venetian Lagoon.

Most hotels and villas are open from March/April through October/November. The towns on the water with beaches include Amalfi, Atrani, Cetara, Furore, Maiori, Minori, Praiano, Positano, and Vietri sul Mare. Towns higher up on the cliffs include Agerola, Ravello, Scala, and Tramonti. Amalfi Coast is crossed by Strada Statale 163 Amalfitana (world-famous known as Amalfi Drive), a 50km (30 miles) stretch of road from north to south. If we take the two entrance points to the Amalfi Coast with Sorrento in the north and Salerno in the south, the road goes through the towns in this order: Positano | Praiano | Amalfi | Atrani | Minori | Maiori | Cetara | Vietri Sul Mare It's important to know the order as that would make exploring the towns a bit easier. The Sorrento to Salerno direction is more preferrable as, by being in the right lane, you are right next to the cliffs with no opposing traffic to block your view. There are no trains serving the Amalfi Coast.
