Sunday, 10 November, in Venissa, "Archeologia della laguna di Venezia 1960–2010" by Ernesto Tito Canal

After over 50 years of research, the presentation of the study on the origins of the Lagoon, much older than previously claimed



Sunday, 10 November, at 5:00 p.m., in Venissa, in the heart of Native Venice, the awaited anticipation of the book "Archeologia della laguna di Venezia 1960–2010" by Ernesto Canal will take place, a thorough and original study that shows how the Venice lagoon is much older than until recently believed. Ernesto "Tito" Canal is one of the pioneers of archaeology of the lagoon, a real brave enthusiast of culture, a person rich in skills and cultural knowledge, obtained from a long experience of mudflats and salt marshes, looking for traces still present of the of the glorious past of the lagoon. Its research has identified 175 archaeological stations and delivered to the Superintendency over 90,000 artifacts, efforts that earned him rightly the title of "Honorary Inspector" before by the Archaeological Service in 1971 and then by the Superintendency of Historical and Art Goods in Venice in 1980. This volume presents the results of fifty years of uninterrupted research conducted by Canal on the field, with the help of experts and enthusiasts, a job done always with skill, passion and expertise; it arises from the beginning as an indispensable tool and as a discussion table open for those who want to approach the study of the lagoon of Venice, a lagoon that has still much to reveal. Speakers for the event will be Marco Molin – professor and head of the Centro Studi Torcellani – Franco Tonello – "Underwater Archaeologist" and moderator of the event – Giovanni Caniato – expert of the historical cartography of the lagoon – and Marco Bortoletto, Head of Studio Archeologico ARCHEOVENETA, who will explain the contents of the book.

The event is open to the public – Reservations recommended – and will end with a toast and a tasting of Jeio and Bisol.
