This postcard detail shows us how Venetian squares were once not only a place for social gatherings, but also a commonly used tool. For example, for hanging out laundry to dry.

🌏 How we were... in San Polo, clothes were hung out to dry.
Places, cities and people change.
Venice is perhaps one of the places that best embodies the saying “everything changes, nothing changes”.

Questo particolare di cartolina ci mostra come i campi veneziani un tempo fossero non solo un luogo di aggregazione sociale del tutto veneziana, ma anche uno strumento comune attivamente utilizzato. Ad esempio per mettere panni stesi ad asciugare.

Much like today's modern sanitation systems — from HEPA filters to UV treatments — even back then, people tried to “sterilise” items that passed from hand to hand in order to protect the health of the community.

Instruments for disinfecting against plague, letters and other paper products

This particular disinfection press was used to expose letters to the aromatic smoke that filtered through the lower grille. Considered high risk, both because of long journeys and because paper was made from macerated fabrics, letters were treated as potential vectors of contagion.

🌏 What connects this tool to HEPA filters and UV treatments?
During major plagues, letters and documents were “purified” through purging: fumigation with burnt medicinal herbs, the same ones used in the famous beaks worn by plague doctors.

Questo particolare torchio di disinfezione serviva a esporre le lettere al fumo aromatico che filtrava dalla griglia inferiore. Considerate ad alto rischio, sia per i lunghi viaggi sia perché la carta nasceva da tessuti macerati, le missive erano trattate come potenziali vettori di contagio.

A scene from the early 1900s that seems surreal today: five passengers on board, the engine still warm, and a crossing to a new destination, departing from the Lido di Venezia.
A different, unexpected, somewhat reckless Venice. A fragment of history that smells of adventure.

🌏 When cars were (really) transported by boat in Venice.
Before ferry boats became part of the Venetian landscape, there were those who loaded their cars by hand onto small boats like this one.

His was not a fortunate dogate. About halfway through his term, the Black Death struck Venice, killing 75% of the population and causing immense economic damage.
Petrarch, despite the coldness of their relationship in recent times, mourned him for a long time as a man and as a humanist.
