The Republic of Venice disappeared in 1797, but a recent travel guide invites visitors to explore it.
A common past serves as the destination for a journey through time and space to rediscover the Adriatic Sea, a basin that unites rather than divides.
This meeting will discuss the history and power of the Serenissima, the cultural and artistic legacy it has left behind, and the potential for economic and tourism exchanges that still exist today. It will also reflect on the often-overlooked past of a Mediterranean that, for many centuries, represented a unique cultural context—a region with its own specificity, straddling Italy, the Balkans, and Central Europe.
The meeting is moderated by Duccio Canestrini.
