Situated at the centre of thelagoon, probably to assert thestability of the place chosenfor the third foundation of thecity, the fruits of a fortunateseries of events and meetingsbetween enlightened gover-nors and artists, St. Mark'sSquare was created just as it appears today despite centu-ries of later works carried outin keeping with its existingforms or by exploiting skilfulinnovations. On looking atthis ‘drawing room’, it strikesone how it lies almost apartfrom the rest of the urbanfabric: aloof, with its ownindependent countenance.This fact, conveyed by thegrandeur of its architecture,was undoubtedly what theVenetians wanted.

FESTIVITIESIn the 10th. Century, when Doge Piero Orseolo died, he left his

estate to be divided into three equal parts: for his family, for the

poor and for the expenses of festivities in Venice. The magistra-

te of ceremonies who controlled the coffers (treasurer) was

usually restrictive in its use. However on occasions, the State

itself ordered festivities without cash limits. The citizens played

part in the choreography: spectators and actors at the same

time. The main square was covered in banners, damask cloth

and garlands to show the finery and power of the city.

LE FESTEIl doge Piero Orseolo, nel X secolo, lascia per testamento il suo

patrimonio liquido diviso in tre parti uguali: ai parenti, ai poveri

e alle spese per le festività di Venezia. Il Magistrato alle Pompe,

che controllava la cassa, fu sempre restrittivo, ma vi furono

occasioni in cui lo Stato stesso ordinava di spingersi oltre lo

sfarzo. I cittadini facevano parte della coreografia: erano spet-

tatori e attori allo stesso tempo. La Piazza in queste occasioni

era coperta di stendardi, damaschi e festoni per dare ancora

una volta il senso della potenza della città.

St. Mark’s Square

Piazza S.Marco è il

simbolo che esprimeVenezia in tutto il

mondo e la sua immagine siidentifica con la città.Ogni spazio rappresenta unaentità politica, sociale, etica oreligiosa: dal tempio checustodisce le spoglie del santoprotettore, alla sede delgoverno, del Principe, alleabitazioni dei "Procuratori diS.

Collocata al centro dellalaguna, probabilmente peraffermare la stabilità delluogo scelto per la terza fon-dazione della città, frutto diuna fortunata serie di eventie di incontri, fra governantiilluminati ed artisti, PiazzaSan Marco venne realizzata,così come appare ancor oggi,attraverso secoli di elabora-zioni operate sempre nelrispetto delle forme esistentio di abili innovazioni.Guardandola si rimane colpi-ti nel riscontrare come essa sistacchi dal rimanente tessutourbano, presentandosi in unmodo quasi autonomo: que-sto fatto, suggerito dall'im-portanza delle sue architettu-re, fu certamente voluto daiVeneziani.

All famous or decisive eventsin Venetian history - as well aseveryday stories - took placeor were celebrated here. Thepeople gathered in the Piazzaback in the 10th century totake part in the most impor-tant decisions of the times. Allthe most important magistra-cies and the "Procurators"had their headquarters here.The magistracies connectedwith commerce, trading andfinance had their headquartersin the Rialto district, whichwas connected to the squareby "Marzaria", a traders’street. But commercial activi-ties also used to take place inthe square e.g. the Becarie, andthe bakery in the Piazzetta, aswell as the different trades car-ried out in the shops under theporticoes. Many other activi-ties took place on the barklooking out across the lagoon,between the shore and themoored ships, close to wheregoods were loaded and unloa-ded and the produce was sto-red in the provisions warehou-ses that the Venetians used tolocate in a privileged position.While these aspects of theactivities in the square invol-ved many citizens, they wereundoubtedly all affected bythe proclamation of generalrules or exceptional facts, readby a messenger who climbedatop the “announcement stone”at the corner of the Basilica bet-ween the Piazza and thePiazzetta.

JUSTICEThe square is not a place usually associated with violent deaths, yet theRepublic used it for capital punishment by hanging or decapitation afterwhich the remains of the dead were left for days as a warning to all. Theadministration for justice had its headquarters, offices and prisons in theDoge’s Palace and manifested a strong and solemn influence not onlyon the common people but also on the ruling classes. It worked in a spectacular manner by the use of placing stone tablets toremember names, crimes and punishment inflicted against those whohad offended the State (in particular for theft from the revenues), also inthe choice of public executions, in the main square attended by theDoge and his main officials. This shows how the State wanted to keep a strong hold on its power andto see for itself how the people reacted to these sentences also showingit did not take punishment lightly, as often happened in that period. In fact, it was custom only for brutal crimes rarely for political ones.Executions took place between the two columns in the small square, orbetween the two red marble columns in the loggia of the Palace, for theDoge to look out on the scene.

mazione del doge, ma ancheai suoi solenni funerali,quando il corteo ducale attra-versava solenne la Piazza tradue ali di popolo. Le feste,antichissima tradizione vene-ta, erano le occasioni in cui lacittà e i cittadini diventavanoparte della coreografia e assu-mevano il ruolo di attori e dispettatori. Erano occasioni in cui l'inte-ro ambiente di San Marco,laPiazza con la riva e il bacino,assumevamo il massimo dellaloro importanza: un fondalescenico di incomparabile bel-lezza. Anche del periodo di domina-zione straniera, Piazza SanMarco porta due segni incan-cellabili: l'Ala napoleonica,voluta da Napoleone e labianca facciata della curiapatriarcale voluta, invece,dagli austriaci. Il campanile, con la sua gran-de cella, fu un eccellenteposto di osservazione sulmare e sull'entroterra. La sua funzione, oggi perdu-ta, era quella di torre campa-naria: il suono delle sue cin-que campane segnava, nellacittà e nella laguna, la vitadei cittadini.

storici che il visitatore nonviene lasciato alla pura con-templazione, come spesso acca-de ammirando le opere monu-mentali antiche, ma invitato ariconoscere e a riscoprire illuogo, così come doveva esserein passato.Nella Piazza, avvenne o sicelebrò ogni evento famoso edeterminante della storia deiveneziani ed anche la cronacad'ogni giorno: fin da quando,già nel X secolo, il popolo visi raccoglieva per parteciparealle più importanti decisioni.Tutte le magistrature più rile-vanti ed i "Procuratori" ave-vano qui la loro sede. Le magistrature, legate alcommercio, agli scambi, allafinanza, avevano invece sedea Rialto che era collegato allaPiazza dalla "Marzaria", unastrada di interesse commer-ciale. Ma in Piazza c'eranoanche attività di commercio:le "Becarie", la "Panetteria"nella Piazzetta e i vari mestieriche si svolgevano nelle botte-ghe sotto ai portici.Molte altre numerose attivitàsulla riva, dalla riva alle naviancorate, in vicinanza deiluoghi di sbarco e d'imbarcodelle mercanzie e delle derra-te custodite nei depositi divettovaglie che i venezianisituarono in una posizioneprivilegiata. Se questi aspettidell'attività in Piazza riguar-davano molti cittadini, tuttierano sicuramente interessatialle "grida", su norme gene-rali o fatti eccezionali, letteda un messo salito sulla "pie-tra del bando" posta all'ango-lo della basilica tra Piazza ePiazzetta. La Piazza, luogo sopratuttodi rappresentanza e di rappre-sentazione, faceva sempre dasfondo: ad esempio all'accla-

tion and presentation, hasalways provided a backdrope.g. for the acclamation of thedoge, but also for the solemndoge's funerals when theducal procession used to crossthe Piazza between two flanksof people. Celebrations - avery ancient Venetian tradi-tion - were occasions for thecity and its citizens to becomepart of the choreography, andtake on the role of actors andspectators. The entire settingof St. Mark's, the square withthe waterfront and the basin,would to take on maximumimportance: a theatrical back-drop of stunning beauty.During the period of foreigndomination too, St. Mark'sSquare was given two indeli-ble signs: the NapoleonicWing - the wish of Napoleon,and the white facade of thepatriarchal curia, this on theother hand being the wish ofthe Austrians. The belfry withits grand cella, was an excel-lent observation point over thesea and the inland area. Itsfunction - since lost - was thatof a bell-tower, and the tollingof its five bells used to markthe life of the citizens, in thecity and the lagoon.

LA GIUSTIZIALa Piazzetta è un ambiente che poco si presta ad evocare morti violen-te, eppure in questo luogo la Repubblica usava far eseguire le sentenzecapitali, per impiccagione o decapitazione, lasciando i resti dei giusti-ziati per più giorni sul posto a esempio e monito. L'amministrazione dellagiustizia, che nel Palazzo aveva la sua sede, i suoi uffici e le prigioni, siestrinsecava in maniera molto forte e solenne per incidere non solo sulpopolo, ma anche sulla classe al potere. Il suo carattere era semprespettacolare: dalla consuetudine di apporre lapidi per ricordare peren-nemente i nomi, le colpe e il castigo di chi aveva commesso reati con-tro lo stato (in particolare derubando l'erario), alla severità delle esecu-zioni capitali in piazza, nel più importante luogo della città alla presen-za, spesso, del Doge. Questo fa capire come lo stato, così accentratoredi poteri, volesse rendersi conto di come i cittadini reagivano agli atti dicondanna e non avesse, in definitiva, il costume di uccidere facilmente,come era usanza in quei tempi. Si trattava, infatti, sempre di condanneper delitti efferati, raramente per delitti politici. Le esecuzioni avevanoluogo fra le due colonne della Piazzetta, o fra le due colonne di marmorosso della loggia di Palazzo, dove usava affacciarsi il Doge.

The administration for justice had its head-quarters, offices and prisons in the Doge’sPalace and manifested a strong andsolemn influence...

Il faraone, un re-sacerdote,intermediario tra uomini edei. Il faraone, il primo sacerdotedel paese, era intermediario tragli uomini e gli dei, colui chesapeva quali riti erano graditiagli dei. Faceva costruire tem-pli giganteschi, popolati distatue colossali e decorati dibassorilievi che ripetevanoininterrottamente il dialogotra il re e gli dei. Un dialogocostante da cui dipendeva l’e-quilibrio nel mondo.

Il faraone, un guerriero vit-torioso.Armi, scene di guerra o deco-razioni militari corredano ilritratto di un faraone semprevittorioso. Numerosi faraoniscesero in battaglia e vinserocontro i nemici del loro tempo.

Il faraone come capo di stato.Alle prese con le forze divineche reggono il cosmo, non perquesto il Faraone cessa diessere un vero capo di stato, eil suo buon governo è illustra-to dall’evocazione di un palaz-zo ufficiale. E’ lì che egli tiene il suo consi-glio dei ministri. Da lì, redattida un esercito di funzionari,registrati dagli archivi reali, isuoi ordini vengono distribuitiin tutto l’Egitto.

Il faraone e la corte.All’interno del suo palazzo,l’uomo faraone ci appare libe-ro dalla ufficialità del suo

The pharaoh, priest-king,mediator between men andgod. The pharaoh, the chiefpriest of the realm, was amediator between men andthe gods, he who knewwhich rites were acceptableto the gods. It was he orde-red the building of gigantictemples, populated withcolossal statues and decora-ted with bas-reliefs whichrepeated, uninterrupted, thedialogue between the kingand the gods, maintained theequilibrium of the world.

The pharaoh, a victorious war-rior.Weapons, scenes of war ormilitary decorations fleshout the portrait of a pharaohwho was always victorious.Many pharaohs went out tobattle and won against theenemies of their time.

The pharaoh as head of state.The fact that the pharaohgrappled with the divine for-ces that maintained thecosmos did not preclude himfrom being a true head ofstate. His good governmentis illustrated by the represen-tation of an official palacefrom where, written out byan army of officials andrecorded in the royal archi-ves, his orders were dispat-ched across Egypt.

The pharaoh and his court.Within his palace, the pha-raoh, the man, appears free

of the official nature of hisrole, with his daily life, hispleasures and his entourage.In this context, the soverei-gn’s family, with his manywives and children, plays acentral role. Numerous ser-vants waited on the sovereignin the palace, as did a richarray of courtiers, each with adifferent role: tutors of thenoble offspring, fan carriersetc. We know that at thecourt, and more specificallyin the royal harem, plots weresometimes hatched.

The death of the pharaoh.The exhibition itinerary con-cludes with the death of thepharaoh. After an evocationof the Valley of the Kingsand the royal burials, thesumptuous treasures of thekings of Tanis, heirs of thekings of the New Kingdom,give witness to the storeswhich the pharaoh was pro-vided with to walk the roadsof the afterlife.

The city, as a space for exhi-biting posters inspired byVenice itself. An itinerary of posters, themost traditional visual com-munication instrument reali-sed by Ed Fella, creating adialogue between author andvisitor, a route telling a story,allowing the spectator toreflect. A type of exhibition beinginstalled during the period inwhich the other initiatives“Vasi Comunicanti” takeplace.Ed Fella’s work althoughmaintaining a traditional arti-stic approach, using paper,pens and pencils, is an exam-ple of permanent research,continual updating, and anuntiring consideration ofvisual art in rapid movement. Almost an ironical juxtaposi-tion compared to the visualart graphics of recent usealmost entirely digital means.

La città utilizzata come spazioper una mostra costituita damanifesti ispirati a Venezia.Un itinerario lungo il quale imanifesti, i più tradizionalistrumenti della comunicazio-ne visiva, realizzati da EdFella permettono una sorta didialogo tra l’autore e chi è incittà, un percorso ove lo spet-tatore troverà un racconto dis-piegato nei manifesti e saràportato a riflettere. Una speciedi mostra - installazionedurante il periodo in cui sisvolgono tutte le iniziative diVasi Comunicanti. Il lavoro diEd Fella, pur mantenendol’artista un approccio artisticotradizionale usando carta,penna e matita, è esempio diricerca permanente, di aggior-namento continuo ed instan-cabile del segno alle sollecita-zioni della cultura visiva inrapido movimento.

FONDAZIONE QUERINI STAMPALIAHOTEL HELL - 10 YEARS OF ANTI-ADVERTISING FROM THE HANS BRINKER HOTEL AMSTERDAM.La mostra propone l’emblematico lavoro dell’agenzia di comunicazione olandeseKesselsKramer, ovvero la campagna pubblicitaria per Hans Brinker Budget Hotel. Questo ostel-lo a basso costo, che ha sede ad Amsterdam, dal 1992 ha affidato a Erik Kessels e JohanKramer la sua immagine. Da allora lo sconosciuto ostello è diventato un nome riconosciutointernazionalmente. “Essere onesti, sinceri e non troppo seri con se stessi” è la strategia di tuttele campagne promozionali di Brinker, la pubblicità dovrebbe essere divertente, avere a chefare con il consumatore e rispettarlo, dovrebbe essere trattata come cultura. E questo è il con-testo in cui si inserisce il lavoro presentato in mostra. Fino al 17 novembre.

It is said that playing an oldinstrument evokes theemotions and sounds of its

former owners. Every singleinstrument communicates thespirit, passion and character ofthose who have played it, andthis is exactly what makes upthe fascination of old instru-ments. Luthiers' hands used totransform their customers'requests into works of art,interpreting their desires andtalent. Venice was the home ofsome exceptional artistic cele-brities. And theword exceptio-nal can also beused to describethe rooms of theAteneo di SanBasso which ishosting the exhi-bition “AntonioVivaldi and histime” - aroundthirty masterpie-ces of the Italianart of making stringed instru-ments, which recreate theatmosphere and environmentof a Venice that is no more, butwhich is evoked in its full splen-dour. A double bass by NicolòAmati dating from 1670, asmall violin and viola by CarloAntonio Testore dating from1716, and a 1710 piece byGiovanni Grancino. All theinstruments come from the pri-vate collections of maestroArtemio Versari of Bolognaand the “Interpreti Veneziani”.

Dicono che suonareuno strumento anticosignifica evocare le

emozioni e i suoni dei prece-denti proprietari. Ogni singo-lo pezzo racconta l’anima, lapassione, il carattere di chi loha suonato. Sta tutto qui il fascino di uno strumentoantico. Le mani dei liutai trasforma-vano in opera d’arte le richie-ste dei committenti, interpre-tando il loro desideri, il lorotalento. Venezia è stata un

contenitore dipersonaggi arti-stici straordinari. Come straordi-narie sono le saledell’Ateneo di SanBasso dove vieneospitata la mostra“Antonio Vivaldie il suo tempo”:una trentina dicapolavori dellaliuteria italiana

che ripropongono le atmosfe-re e gli ambienti di unaVenezia che non c’è più, mache viene evocata in tutto ilsuo splendore.

innalzare un altro tempio voti-vo ( quello del Redentore fucostruito alla Giudecca nel1576 per la fine della grandepeste nera). Nel gennaio del1632 si abbatterono le case delSeminario vicino Punta dellaDogana e si diede luogo alvaglio dei progetti degli archi-tetti che parteciparono albando. Ne arrivarono 11 e conquesti anche quello di Baldas-sarre Longhena, un 26-ennepiccolo di statura, semprevestito di nero, ma gentile contutti.

When the plague of

1630 ended, divineretribution broke

off. It was immediately deci-ded to erect another votivetemple (the temple of theRedeemer was built on theGiudecca in 1576 to markthe end of the black death).In January 1632, the Semi-nario homes near Punta dellaDogana were demolished,giving rise to the screening ofdesigns of the architectstaking part in the bids.Eleven designs were put for-ward, including that ofBaldassarre Longhena, adiminutive 26 year-old whoalways dressed in black, butwas kind to everyone.

S. MARIA FORMOSACastello, 5263ph. +39.041.2750462According to legend, the churchwas founded in 639 AD by St.Magno, Bishop of Oderzo. It is oneof the earliest of eight churchesbuilt in the lagoon during the 7thcentury. In the 12th century it wasrebuilt in the form of a Greekcross. The shape underlines theresettlement begun in 1492 byMauro Codussi, the leading archi-tect of the early VenetianRenaissance. Codussi left it unfinis-hed on his death. In the interior, astriking play of lights emphasisesthe centrality of the church and theinteresting vaults and domes.

THE PLAGUEIn just one year, Venice lost 46,000 of its inhabitants. They were

victims of the third wave of plague which hit the city in 1630. In

the June of that year, the Venetian troops returning from Mantua,

who had been sent by the Serenissima to help the duchy with

the German invasion, were placed in quarantine on the island of

Lazzaretto Vecchio. A carpenter who came into contact with the

Venetian ambassador who had also returned from Mantua in the

evening at home in the San Vio area spread the disease throu-

ghout the city. The health superintendents issued many instruc-

tions on how to decontaminate homes, divide the ill among the

different hospitals and send uninfected people out into the

country. The patriarch Giovanni Tiepolo ordered processions

and public prayers throughout the city. Already back in the six-

teenth century, someone had realised that the infection was

spread by “certain tiny animals so small they cannot be seen”,

but a long time was to pass before it was understood that those

tiny animals were the fleas of the black rat.

was probably born in Bresciain around 1598, but his bap-tism certificate has neverbeen found. His father was amodest mason called Melchi-sedech, meaning he was pro-bably born Jewish. The life ofthis cordial and very culturedarchitect is a total mystery -he never studied regularlyand he had a passion formysticism. For those peopleable to read them, the basili-ca is a maze of thoughts,cabalistic phrases and strangesymbols. The Venetian Sena-te chose the drawings of thisman from Brescia as theywere the most beautiful,although they were unusualfor a temple dedicated toliberation from a plague. The tablets of the design havequite detailed dimensionswhich describe a squared dia-gonally overlapped layout witha symbolic, but explicit, refe-rence to Venice being re-bornfrom the water, similar to thatof Venus Physizoa (the litho-graph contained in the work ofFrancesco Colonna, Hypner-otomachia Polifili, 1499).Number 8s blatantly appeareverywhere (it is octagonal),like 11s and 15s (e.g. theaccess steps, whose numberalludes to Solomon's Temple,and the 15 mysteries of thecrown of the Rosario). Thereare numbers, symbols andletters, such as those in theJewish Kabbalah. Every detail has a meaningthat only a careful hermeneutcould discover. In the firstbook of Kings, the Bible sta-tes, "In the eleventh year, inthe month of bul, which isthe eighth, the temple wascompleted in all its plan andorder" (Kings 6.38). TheBasilica della Salute was con-secrated in 1687.

il suo certificato di battesimo.Suo padre era un modestoscalpellino chiamato Melchi-sedech, nome cananeo, noncerto cristiano.Probabilmente nacque ebreo. È tutto un mistero la vita diquesto geniale e coltissimoarchitetto - che non fece maistudi regolari - con la passioneper la mistica. Per chi li sa leg-gere la basilica è un dedalo dipensieri, di fraseggi cabalistici,di strani simboli. Il Senatoveneziano scelse i disegni delbresciano perché belli piùdegli altri, anche se insoliti perun tempio dedicato alla libera-zione dalla peste. Le cartelledel progetto hanno misureassai dettagliate che descrivo-no una pianta a quadratisovrapposti diagonalmente eun riferimento simbolico, maesplicito, alla Venezia cherinasce dall'acqua analogo aquello della Venere Physizoa(litografia contenuta nell'ope-ra di Francesco Colonna,Hypnerotomachia Polifili, del1499). Il numero 8 compare palese-mente ovunque (è ottagonale)come anche l’11 e il 15 (gliscalini d’accesso, il cui numeroallude al Tempio di Salomonee ai 15 misteri della corona delRosario). Numeri, simboli e letterecome nella Kabbalah ebraica.Ogni particolare aveva unsignificato che solo un attentoermeneuta poteva scovare. Nel primo libro dei Re, laBibbia dice: "Nell'anno undi-cesimo, nel mese di bul, che èl'ottavo, il tempio fu condottoa termine secondo tutto il suopiano e il suo ordinamento" (iRe 6,38).La Basilica della Salute fu con-sacrata nel 1687, cinque annidopo la morte di BalthasarLonginus.

LA PESTEIn un solo anno Venezia perse 46 mila abitanti. Erano le vittime

della terza ondata di peste che colpì la città nel 1630. Nel giu-

gno di quell’anno le truppe veneziane di ritorno da Mantova,

spedite dalla Serenissima in aiuto del Ducato contro l’invasione

tedesca, furono messe in quarantena nell’isola del Lazzaretto

Vecchio. Un falegname, a contatto con l’ambasciatore vene-

ziano anch’egli di ritorno da Mantova alla sera in casa nella

zona di S.Vio, propagò il morbo in tutta la città.

I Provveditori alla Sanità emanarono molte disposizioni su come

bonificare le case, dividere gli ammalati nei vari ospedali e

spedire nelle campagne le persone non infette. Il patriarca

Giovanni Tiepolo ordinò processioni e preghiere pubbliche in

tutta la città. Già all’inizio del ‘500 qualcuno aveva capito

che il contagio avveniva grazie a “certi animaletti di tanta

piccolezza che non si possono vedere”, ma si dovette spettare

ancora molto per capire che quegli animaletti erano le pulci

del ratto nero.

In 1930, after renova-tion and restoration works, thesplendid wooden ceiling shapedlike a ship's hull was returned to itsformer splendour. The possibilityof comparing the works by G.B.and Giandomenico Tiepolo - fatherand son - is particularly interesting.To see: L'apparizione della Verginea San Giovanni Nepomuceno byG.B.

FRARI CHURCHDates worth remembering; a hundred years ago the restorationwork was made which saved the Frari basilica from certain ruin. A hundred and fifty years ago the monument to Titian was crea-ted and it is eighty years since the convent monks returned to thebasilica. This is the date that will be remembered on the 29thNovember with a solemn ceremony at 18.30 and with a concertat 21.00. During the concert the new updated guide book of thechurch containing a wealth of historical and artistic informationwill be presented.

LA CHIESA DEI FRARICi sono date che meritano di essere ricordate, ad esempio sono100 anni dai grandi lavori di restauro che hanno salvato laBasilica dei Frari da un sicuro degrado, 150 anni dalla realizzazio-ne del Monumento a Tiziano e 80 anni da quando i frati conven-tuali sono tornati in Basilica. Sarà questo l’evento ricordato il 29novembre. In tale data vi saranno una solenne celebrazione alleore 18.30, un concerto alle ore 21 e, durante il concerto, verràpresentata la nuova guida della Basilica. Una guida aggiornata epreziosa per le informazioni storiche ed artistiche in essa contenute.

saying used in the city, mea-ning that every cloud has asilver lining.In democratic fashion, highwater affects everyone. OnNovember mornings it isquite normal to see esteemedprofessionals, magistrates andbusinesspeople wading intheir Wellingtons like the fishermen of the lagoon. If we look at the phenome-non more closely, though, itis not so democratic: Venicehas 12,060 house numbers onthe ground floor. Only 6.2 %of these are adapted to with-stand high water. 43% of thetenants of these homes wouldbe affected by flooding withtides of below 120 centime-tres above sea level. They arein the districts of Cannaregio(30%), San Marco (21%),Castello (17%), Dorsoduro(14%), Santa Croce (9%)and San Polo (8%). Aroundhalf the surface area of 20%of them is flooded. This 1999observation is alleged to haveaffected only one third oftotal house numbers, so thesize of the phenomenoncould be underestimated.The richest classes ofVenetian society do not liveon the ground floor.Poetry, literature and art –imaginations run wild toevoke the beauty of the watercity invaded by water. Thereality is certainly expressedwith more prosaicness.But what is it that causes thehigh water?Tides are caused to the cycli-cal fluctuation of the sealevel, which is not constantall over the globe, and variesaccording to geographicalposition. Due to its obliqueposition and stretched geo-metry, the Adriatic sea has a

cm). Nel Golfo di Venezia,come in quello di Trieste, laoscillazione è di 120 cm. Nelle fasi di plenilunio enovilunio, quando cioè laluna è allineata con il sole, ilfenomeno è maggiore. Alle cause astronomiche siaggiungono quelle meteorolo-giche, da sempre conosciute: ilvento di scirocco che da sud-est spinge l’ Adriatico verso lasua chiusura e la pressioneatmosferica che comprime lasuperficie del mare: più bassaè la pressione, più alta è lamarea.Il 75% dei fenomeni avvienenel mese di ottobre, novem-bre e dicembre, la concentra-zione massima è a novembre.L’aumento della frequenzadell’acqua alta in questo seco-lo è dovuto a due ragioni: losprofondamento del suolo (subsidenza) a seguito dicause naturali ( 4 cm al seco-lo) e il prelevamento di acquae gas dal sottosuolo (10 cmnell’ultimo secolo). In più c’è l’innalzamento dellivello dei mari (eustatismo)dovuto all’aumento dellatemperatura media terrestre.Il turista avrà perciò sempremaggiori possibilità di immer-gere i piedi nella divertentepiscina naturale di Venezia.Occhio però: non crediate chel’acqua sulla quale sguazzatesia quella di mare. Il sistema fognario venezianoè complesso e antico come lastoria della città. In pratica pochissime casesono collegate alla rete fogna-ria comunale. Le altre scarica-no direttamente, o parzial-mente, tutti i prodotti deibagni nei canali. Che con l’ac-qua alta esondano.

tide difference of about 20cm (compared to theMediterranean, which hasonly a 2 cm tide-level diffe-rence). In the Gulfs ofVenice and Trieste, this gapis some 120 cm and, at fullmoon and new moon, whenthe moon is aligned with thesun, the level increases. Tothese astronomical causes wemust add in the weather fac-tor: the south-easterly siroc-co wind that pushes theAdriatic up towards its nor-thern shore, and atmosphe-ric pressure that pushesdown on the sea surface (thelower the pressure, thehigher the tide).75% of high tides occur inOctober, November andDecember, with the maxi-mum concentration being inNovember. The increasedfrequency of the phenome-non this century is caused bytwo factors - ground subsi-dence as a result of naturalcauses (4 cm per century)and the extraction of waterand gas from the subsoil (10cm last century). To add tothis is the rising sea levels(eustasy) caused by theincrease in the earth’s meantemperature. Tourists there-fore have more changes towade in Venice's amusingnatural swimming pool. Butbeware! Don’t think thewater you’re splashing aboutin is pure seawater: Venice'ssewerage system is as com-plex and old as the city itself.In practice, only few homesare connected to the city'ssewerage system while all therest discharge directly or par-tially into the canals. And thecanals overflow at high tide.

On 4th November1966, Venice was floodedwith the most seawater in theentire century. In the absenceof flooding, the entrance toSt. Mark's Basilica is 60 cmabove the mean sea level. In1966, the tide reached 194cm. People on the groundfloor and some first floors gotout through their windows,into boats and headed for dryland. The normal tide mecha-nism had been broken - asirocco was blowing at 100kilometres per hour and itwas raining constantly. At halfpast one in the morning thetide reached 127 cm andmuch of the city was alreadyflooded. After six hours itshould have abated. At 2.10p.m. it had reached 176 cm,remained stationary for a fewhours, and then began to riseagain. At 9 p.m. it was vergingon two metres. Then, withthree hours' delay comparedwith the astronomical clock,it started to fall. The numberof catastrophic events asserious or worse than those of4th November 1966 may bequantified at about ten cases,1966 included, in a time-spanof approximately 1500 yearsi.e. on average one such eventoccurs every 150 years.On the eve of the 1966 event,the rise of the astronomic tidecomponent was quite mode-rate. In practice, if the sameconditions had occurredwhen the moon and sun werealigned, then the maximumvalue of the tide would haveexceeded the two metre level.Academics have calculatedthat if all components were tobe added together in unison,the tide would reach threemetres, with all the associatedconsequences.

Mose (Experimental electromechanicModule) is a mobile gate system whichmany hope will solve the problem ofhigh water in Venice. It was planned bythe “Consorzio Venezia Nuova”, for the“Magistrato alle Acque di Venezia”.The acronym was successful possiblydue to its biblical reference to the childsaved from the water and bulrushes.It is made up of 79 sluice gates to placeat the three lagoon openings, LidoMalamocco and Chioggia. In a normal position they will be underwater but when a high tide is due, 4-5times a year, they will rise up to the sur-face to stop the water coming from thesea into the lagoon, remaining on thesurface for three or four hours. The costis estimated at two billion euro, and theconstruction time eight years.Environmentalist groups remain wor-ried and oppose the plan: the tempo-rary blocking of the water flow coulddestroy the particular ecosystem of theVenice lagoon. The path has been longand difficult but now it seems to be atthe operative stage. A plan awaited bymany and feared by others.

L’acronimo, nel bene onel male, ha riscosso subito successo forseper il riferimento biblico al fanciullo sal-vato dalle acque. Sono 79 paratoie dacollocare alle tre bocche della laguna,Lido, Malamocco e Chioggia.Normalmente rimangono sul fondo. Seperò arriva l’acqua alta, quattro-cinquevolte l’anno, si innalzano per impedirneil passaggio dal mare alla laguna, rima-nendo in funzione per tre quattro ore.Costo stimato 2 miliardi di euro. Tempi di realizzazione otto anni. Permangono da parte ambientalista fortiperplessità e nette opposizioni: il bloccotemporaneo delle bocche di porto sarà lafine di quel particolare ecosistema che èla laguna di Venezia? L’iter è stato travagliato ma ora pare esse-re giunti alla fase operativa. Un’ opera attesa da molti e temuta daaltrettanti.

Nelle case il pane era una rarità, era il com-plemento delle pietanze a Natale, a Pasqua,durante le feste in generale; attaccata ad un

trave della cucina c'era la cesta del pane ed il panefatto in casa era custodito con gelosa attenzione.All’inizio del 900 ogni contrada aveva il forno, unforno in comune ove periodicamente (il momentodel pane era legato al tempo della mietitura) il paneveniva sfornato. Chi coltivava terre di proprietà godeva del previle-gio di avere "il pane quotidiano", anche se occorrericordare che il frumento costituiva una fonte diguadagno e quindi la polenta finiva per essere pertutti la base dell'alimentazione. Ogni zona avevaparticolari "forme" di pane: la ciopa, la ciopeta, elpaneto, la roseta (a forma di fiore), el bovolo (aforma di chiocciola), ecc…ed ancora oggi a Veneziac’è solo l’imbarazzo della scelta.Accanto al panebianco fatto con la farina di fiore e al pan traversoa base di farina integrale c’era el pan scafetò , checorrisponde all'attuale pan biscottto, prodotto informa e dimensione diverse.Il pan biscotto deve un po' al gusto e molto allanecessità il suo grande successo. A volte la pastaveniva ingentilita, addolcita e resa più nutrientecon grasso, miele, uova, diventava un biscotto daoffrire in dono alle donne dopo il parto. Ma per iveneziani, uomini di mare spesso costretti a restarea lungo imbarcati, il pan biscotto (per la produzio-ne del quale presto sorsero numerosi forni gestitidallo Stato) fu il pane preferito grazie alla sua caratteristica di mantenere inalterato il gusto permolto tempo.

Bread was a rarity in the homes of theVenetians, an addition only to the mealsat Christmas, Easter, or special occasions.

Hanging from a beam in the kitchen was thebreadbasket, the home made bread jealouslyguarded.At the beginning of the 20th century each areahad its own baker’s, a common oven wherebread was baked periodically (bread making wasconnected to the harvest time). Those with theirown land to cultivate were privileged and couldhave “daily bread”, although it should beremembered that wheat was a source of incomeand therefore corn mash was a basic food foreveryone.Each area had a different shape for bread: theciopa, ciopeta, el paneto, la roseta (rose shaped),el bovolo (snail shell), and so on and even todayin Venice there is still a wide choice of rolls.Near the white bread, the “pan traverso” brownbread made with whole wheat flour was the elpan scafetò, which corresponds to today’s “panbiscotto” melba toast, made again in differentshapes and sizes.“Pan biscotto” was popular for its taste and fornecessity. Sometimes it was sweetened and mademore nutritional by adding fats, honey or eggs.This became a traditional offering to ladies afterchildbirth. But for the Venetians, men of the sea,often remaining on board ships for long periods,“pan biscotto” became a favourite thanks to itsquality of maintaining flavour and texture forlong periods.

The Le Zoie collection wasborn out of a dream - itscreator's dream of holding

Venice, the most beautiful city inthe world, in his hand. Keeping itthere in the palm of his hand fora few moments as if it had justcome out of a jewellery box. Ifyou walk around Venice's alleys,bridges and squares, you will rea-lise that this city is never still -reflections flicker on the walls ofthe palaces, waves break on thesteps of the landings, and theropes holding the gondolas andthe arches supporting the porti-coes move. To hold onto it, youneed to take the pieces apart andmount them in bracelets, broo-ches, pendants and rings

La collezione Le Zoie nasceda un sogno: il sogno dell'i-deatore di tenere in mano la

città più bella del mondo, Venezia.Tenerla per qualche istante nelpalmo della mano, come se fosseappena uscita da uno scrigno. Chi cammina per le calli, i ponti ei campi si accorge che questa cittànon sta mai ferma: oscillano iriflessi sui muri dei palazzi, sispaccano le onde sui gradini degli approdi, si muovono le cordeche trattengono le gondole, simuovono gli archi che sostengonoi portici. Per trattenerla, si devono smonta-re i pezzi e incastrarli nei braccia-li, nelle spille, nei pendenti, neglianelli.
