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.

  • Santa Fosca in Torcello and the Middle Byzantine Churches in Eastern Greece: Preliminary Comparison and Remarks on Common Features and Differences
    Athens Journal of History January 2016 Santa Fosca in Torcello and the Middle Byzantine Churches in Eastern Greece: Preliminary Comparison and Remarks on Common Features and Differences By Antonella Manzo The main aim of this work is to critically examine Santa Fosca building period through the analysis of the similarities as well as the differences with some churches located in Greece and belonging to the so-called octagonal domed type. In fact, since the second half of the Nineteenth century a historiographical tradition has compared Santa Fosca with these Greek Middle-Byzantine churches, where eight supports, piers or columns, arranged in a regular or irregular octagon, receive the loads from the cupola. The comparison is based on the direct analysis of these buildings: the structural configuration, the constructive materials and techniques as well as the affinities in decoration, occurring both inside and outside, are under investigation. This contribution offers a new perspective, from which it could be possible to study the period of erection of the Venetian church, a topic that is still object of debate among the scientific community. Introduction Torcello is an island belonging to the Northern Venetian Laguna, which lives its golden age during the X-XI century AD: in his Administrando Imperio of 927 Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus defines Torcello as emporion mega, to testify the great importance of its intense trades with the Orient. The church of Santa Fosca is located on the island at the Southern side of the ancient Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, whose origins date back to the inscription of 639 AD, discovered during the excavations of 1895.

  • 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
    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.

  • 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.

  • Do the Adaptations of Venice and Miami to Sea Level Rise Offer Lessons for Other Vulnerable Coastal Cities?
    Environmental Management https://doi.org/10.1007/s00267-019-01198-z Do the Adaptations of Venice and Miami to Sea Level Rise Offer Lessons for Other Vulnerable Coastal Cities? 1 2 3 Emanuela Molinaroli ● Stefano Guerzoni ● Daniel Suman Received: 5 February 2019 / Accepted: 29 July 2019 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Both Venice and Miami are high-density coastal cities that are extremely vulnerable to rising sea levels and climate change. Aside from their sea-level location, they are both characterized by large populations, valuable infrastructure and real estate, and economic dependence on tourism, as well as the availability of advanced scientific data and technological expertize. Yet their responses have been quite different. We examine the biophysical environments of the two cities, as well as their socio- economic features, administrative arrangements vulnerabilities, and responses to sea level rise and flooding. Our study uses a qualitative approach to illustrate how adaptation policies have emerged in these two coastal cities. Based on this information, we critically compare the different adaptive responses of Venice and Miami and suggest what each city may learn from the 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: other, as well as offer lessons for other vulnerable coastal cities. In the two cases presented here it would seem that adaptation to SLR has not yet led to a reformulation of the problem or a structural transformation of the relevant institutions. Decision-makers must address the complex issue of rising seas with a combination of scientific knowledge, socio-economic expertize, and good governance. In this regard, the “hi-tech” approach of Venice has generated problems of its own (as did the flood control projects in South Florida over half a century ago), while the increasing public mobilization in Miami appears more promising.

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.
