A unique discovery in Italy, destined to open up new scenarios on the history of the lagoon in Roman times has now become an exhibition inside the Natural History Museum in Venice.

More than a hundred years after the First World War, Europe has changed profoundly: peoples who were once enemies now share their holidays on the beaches of the Adriatic, including those of Venice and its lagoon. During the conflict, those same waters were traversed by battleships and submarines, while airships, seaplanes and biplanes took to the skies. From the 24th of May 1915 Venice had been a strategic port for the Italian Navy while the Arsenal produced ships, armaments and equipment. After Caporetto, in November 1917, Austro-German troops invaded the Veneto region and stopped at the Piave river, the last…
