Dominio daMar (T1)
Timeline of Dominio da Mar (cities,
fortresses, colonies)
The objective is to synthetize
chronogically the Venetians settlements
overseas. You will have to separate the
direct administration and the places
indirectly supervised by Venice. Territories
will appear and disappear over the
centuries.

Dominio da Terra Ferma (T2)
Timeline of Dominio da Terra Ferma. The
goal is to see that Venice was also
powerful on the ground and locked the
key sites for exchanges and money :
rivers, cities, roads.

Political structure (T3)
An evolution of the political and
administrative structure. The political and
administrative structure of Venice is
special. It’s a complex game of control
and retro-control. The objective here is to
visualize and to understand over the
years, how this system has been built and
what are the events at the origin of their
creation.

History of Venetian Mapping from
Middle-Age to late Republic : from Fra
Mauro to Albrizzi Understand the
complex issues involved with mapping and
geographical representations in di↵erent
times. Following the work of prominent

Venice. The goal of this project is to
create a database of all the facades of all
the buildings of Venice. The starting
point will be some existing 3D models like

extracted low quality pictures. The
challenge will be to improve these pictures
to create higher resolutions models.

Ornaments in print (D2)
Matching techniques. Ornaments in print
o↵er a unique signature to identify the
origin of a printed documents. The goal
of the project is to extract from a
database of document ornaments
presented on each page and to design a
classifier permitting to attribute a given
set of ornaments to a given venetian
printer. The tool could be used to map
the di↵usion of venetian prints

Citations of the archive (D3)
Text mining. The goal of this project is to
identify which sections or documents of
the Archivio di Stato are most often used
by scholars. The project could use text
mining techniques on articles or scanned
books to create representations of the
parts of the archive that are the most
used

subprojects focusing on one good.

lanes.

Mapping the venetian prints in Europe
Quantitative outlook through mining of
online catalogues. What was printed and
when ? Where is it now ? Query online
catalogs for Venetian printed old books
(i.e. before 1797), build a database out of
that. Make the database accessible via a
geomap, and add a time slider. What can
you conclude about Venetian printing
industry on the long run ?
