Synopsis:
Peregrinazioni lagunari is the title of a famous modern-era Venetian folksong that narrates the itinerary of a boatman through the Venice lagoon.
Following its traces, the book explores the same places from the perspective of environmental humanities, giving life to a contemporary peregrinatio in the lagoon urban ecosystem. Wandering from the Murano furnaces to the Fusina recycling plants, from the Vignole gardens to the Burano workshops, from the privatized islands of the Southern Lagoon to the San Nicolò del Lido port entrance, the author accompanies us – by kayak, vaporetto, or on foot – on an utterly original journey through environments today more than ever threatened by capitalist logics.
A book made of encounters, memories, and small shards fished here and there, which with its fresh gaze invites us to rediscover more and less known corners of the territory.
