Wood, Water and Stone
Starting from the observation of the natural elements around us, we will undertake a time travel to discover a primordial Venice, shaped by earthly forces and human genius. Walking through picturesque streets and bridges, we will understand how people fleeing from their decayed homes found refuge on some barren islands in a lagoon, turning them into the heart of one the greatest empires in human history. The miracle of Venice will slowly uravel to us as we progress on foot, as we step on the structure of an impossible city.
