Images, myths and imaginations of Venice have shaped discourses in history, art and literature for centuries. Venice still lives on its former significance. The fear of Venice's slow sinking into the sea has stimulated dialogue around the preservation and protection of cultural heritage.

The seventh Italy Day at the University of Kassel therefore revolves around the myth of Venice from the Middle Ages to the present day. Among others, Irmgard Fees will lecture on the city's rise as a medieval metropolis, and Marita Liebermann will address the topic "Venice and Mass Tourism."

The digital event will take place via Zoom conference from 2-6 p.m.

Speakers:

Irmgard Fees
Hans Aurenhammer
Robert Fajen
Rembert Eufe
Marita Liebermann
