Venice and its lagoon a co-evolution story with Fabio Pranovi

The Venice lagoon is a social-ecological system, modelled by centuries of co-evolution between natural and anthropogenic drivers. During the tour in the lagoon surrounding the Northern part of the city, we’ll have the opportunity to discover, aboard a hybrid propulsion boat, some of the landscape elements typical of this transitional environment (as saltmarshes and some ‘minor’ island – Vignole e S. Erasmo).
