Abstract
In this volume, colleagues and friends pay tribute to Margherita Tirelli, archaeologist, curious and lively interpreter of an archaeological method that has marked a particularly flourishing season of excavations, discoveries, studies and non-superficial initiatives of valorisation. To Altino, as the progenitor of Venice, Margherita Tirelli has dedicated and continues to dedicate her uninterrupted attention, from the excavations to the delicate transition to the new prestigious museum site. In this perspective, the scholar has developed a fruitful collaboration with the Department of Humanistic Studies of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, concretised in a convention of studies and research and in six conferences of Altino studies, aimed at investigating various themes: from the funerary to the social and the sacred. The diachronic spectrum of its archaeological, historical and epigraphic interests is reflected in the articulation of the contributions dedicated to it here: from the culture of the ancient Veneti to the themes of Romanity, up to a specific focus on glass production. The volume closes with a work on glass from the ‘historical’ age, a subject that still sees her as a reference figure in the Venetian context, and one dedicated to the choices of museum layout, a subject of communication in which she has been able to combine elegance and effectiveness with her collaborators.
