The Many Venices. A walk with Luca Cosentino

First appointment of The Many Venices. Walking through migrant histories, communities across the lagoon between past and present, a program co-curated with wetlands which, through a series of itineraries, reveals a Venice often hidden from view: a city shaped through encounters, movements, and crossings.

The program opens with wetlands’ editorial director, Luca Cosentino, who will lead us on a walk through Castello and Cannaregio, tracing the historical connections between Venice and African routes, starting from some of the itineraries explored in the book African Venice / Venezia africana (S. Bassi and P. Kaplan, wetlands, 2023).

The program is supported by Venezia Football Club as Community Partner.

Luca Cosentino is the co-founder and editorial director of wetlands publishing house. A geologist by training, he has traveled and lived for many years in America, Africa, and various European countries. He is the author of two books dedicated to African art and archaeology and one book about his travels in Libya (Da Tripoli a Messak, Terre di Mezzo). He lives and works in Venice.
