FINAL CONFERENCE OF PROJECT LIFE-GHOST 20th OCTOBER 2016

In Aula Magna of our Congress Center “Don Orione Artigianelli”, we hosted the final conference of project LIFE-GHOST, to present the results obtained during the three years of operation (2013-2016). The project LIFE-GHOST co-funded by the European Commission under the LIFE + Biodiversity program, carried out with the partnership of the ‘Institute of Marine Sciences of the CNR-ISMAR National Research Council (project leader), IUAV and Laguna Project, helped to assess, through innovative approaches, the presence and impacts of networks and fishing gear lost or abandoned on the seabed along the Venetian coast, particularly the rocky areas corresponding to the so-called “tegnùe” (the Venetian word meaning “withheld”) , particularly rich in biodiversity. Field activities, carried out on an area of 2,125 hectares of seabed circumscribed to 15 areas with natural rock formations and one with artificial reefs (soffolta Lido), led to the identification, mapping and subsequent removal of at least 350 objects related to fishing (nets and other gear), for a total weight of over 500 kg, providing the first scientific evidence for this marine coastal environment. http://www.life-ghost.eu

DUNNETT CARNIVAL VENICE 19th-24th SEPTEMBER 2016

“The Dunnett Carnival of Venice” was a conference held in Venice from 19th to 23rd September 2016, in association with the Dorothy Dunnett Society (www.dorothydunnett.org).  Dorothy Dunnett was a highly regarded historical novelist, renowned for her writing and her research, who set part of her “House of Niccolò” series in Venice. During the conference, the delegates, who were based at the Centro Culturale Don Orione Artigianelli, had meetings at the Don Orione in the Aula Magna and the Sala Goldoni, and visited the locations mentioned within the books.

Most of the delegates stayed at the Don Orione, with its blend of clean, comfortable rooms within the quiet calm of the ancient former monastery.  The Don Orione is perfectly located within a 15 minute walk of St Mark’s Square, and within 5 minutes of the Zattere (where boats could collect the delegates for trips out to the islands of the Lagoon, and to the Arsenale).   The local San Trovaso Restaurant provided excellent meals.  The staff at the Don Orione could not have been more helpful, and our delegates had a marvellous time at this beautiful conference centre in this wonderful part of the magical city of Venice”
