VENICE & ITS LAGOON
An approach to the Venice Lagoon ecosystem: its morpholophy, its navigation, its waters |
1966 ACQUA ALTA
Short description of the nature of the disastrous floods of 4 November 1966 that caused extensive damage to the city. |
BALANCE
Over time, the lagoon has suffered radical changes such as the formation of new channels, the deepening of those already existing and the marked erosion of the barene. |
BRINGING THE TERRAIN UNDER CONTROL
Throughout the period of its expansion, Venice never ceased consolidating its position, in the strict sense of the term, in the centre of a lagoon. |
HISTORY
In the Venice Lagoon covering 551 km2, nature & history have gone hand in hand ever since in the fifth century AD, communities from Veneto fleeing the barbarian invasions took refuge on the sandy islands of Torcello, Iesolo and Malamocco. |
