"Peregrinazioni lagunari" is the title of a famous Venetian popular song of the modern age which narrates the itinerary of a boatman through the Venice lagoon.

Following in their footsteps, the book explores the same places from the perspective of environmental human sciences, giving life to a contemporary pilgrimage in the lagoon urban ecosystem.

Wandering from the furnaces of Murano to the recycling plants of Fusina, from the vegetable gardens of Vignole to the shops of Burano, from the privatized islands of the Southern Lagoon to the port mouth of San Nicolò del Lido, the author accompanies us - by kayak, vaporetto or on foot - on a highly original journey through environments now more than ever threatened by capitalist logic. A book made of encounters, memories and small pieces caught here and there, which with its fresh gaze invites us to rediscover more and less well-known corners of the territory.
