Crossing the water : the Venice Lagoon from antiquity throughout the centuries
215 pages : illustrations (some color)
- Includes bibliographical references.
- The volume presents an overall view of the Venice Lagoon (Italy) focusing on the archaeological area of the Treporti-San Felice Channel and the ancient city of Altinum. Starting from the archaeological traces submerged detected in the analysis and re-elaboration of data through new methods and technologies, the book represents an opportunity to consider various aspects. The volume discusses geo-environmental transformations throughout the centuries, ancient settlements and road systems, and the connections between ancient and contemporary times through architectonic projects and virtual reconstructions. The bool also offers some considerations about relevant Greek and Latin texts and the Classical Tradition, promoting a 'kaleidoscopic' vision and understanding of the origin of Venice and of the possible scenarios for the city in the near and distant future. [Publisher's text]
- Il volume intende proporre una riflessione corale sulla Laguna nord di Venezia con particolare riguardo all'area compresa fra il Canale Treporti-San Felice e Altino. A partire dalle tracce di resti sommersi, analizzati e rielaborati grazie a nuove metodologie e strumentazioni, il libro consentirà di riflettere su diversi aspetti: sulle trasformazioni geo-ambientali che la Laguna di Venezia ha subito nel corso dei secoli, sulle modalità di insediamento e di percorrenza in età antica, sulle connessioni fra l'antico e il contemporaneo attraverso la progettazione architettonica e le restituzioni virtuali. Infine, alcune considerazioni sulle fonti greche e latine e sulla memoria dell'antico potranno configurarsi come un 'caleidoscopio' attraverso cui ampliare lo sguardo sulle origini di Venezia e sul suo futuro, prossimo e lontano.
