Chapter | Inland Aquatic Heritage and Venice’s Hydrophilia: Meandering Along Sentimental Waterways
Abstract
This lesson is dedicated to the long-lasting and effectual domestication of the hydrosphere in the Venice lagoon. A great attention will be paid to the historical processes that have allowed the formation of the Venetian urban materiality. Within the theoretical approach of ‘hydrophilia’, water mobility is among the most effectual agencies that allow the understanding of the peculiar social-cultural water heritage in Veneto plain.
