GRAND CHAPITRE
INTERNATIONAL D’ITALIE
Venice 4 th -7 th October 2012

“A fairy city of the heart”
This is how Lord Byron called Venice.
La Serenissima is an improbable cityscape of stone palaces that
seem to float on water, a place where cats nap on Oriental marble
windowsills set in colorful plaster walls. Candy-striped pylons
stand sentry outside the tiny stone docks of palaces whose
front steps descend into the gently lapping waters of the canals
that lace the city.
Venice actually consists of 117 bodies of land connected by
more than 400 bridges over its 150 canals. The Grand Canal is
like main street, cutting through the center of the city.
In Venice, cars are banned; every form of transportation floats,
from water taxis and vaporetti (the public “bus” ferries) to ambulance
speedboats and garbage scows. Venice is a place where
locals stop at the bacaro (wine bar) to take un ombra (literally “a
little bit of shade,” in practice, a glass of wine) and munch on
cicchetti (tapaslike snacks) or linger over exquisite restaurant seafood
dinners.
Venice is extraordinary, it is magical, and it is worth every cent; it
seems almost too exquisite to be genuine, too fragile to survive
the never-ending stream of visitors who have been making the
pilgrimage here for 1,500 years.
Venice is a city of great art and grand old masters. Venetian
painting featured early masters such as the Bellini clan. By the
early 1500s, Venice had taken the Renaissance torch from Florence
and made it its own, lending the movement the new color
and lighting schemes of such giants as Giorgione, Tiziano (Titian),
Paolo Veronese, and Tintoretto.
As barbarian hordes washed back and forth across the Alps during
the decline of the Roman Empire (starting in the 4th c.),
inhabitants of the Veneto flatlands grew tired of being routinely
sacked and pillaged along the way. By the 6th century, many had
begun moving out onto the mud-flat islands of the marshy lagoon,
created by what was in ancient times the Po River delta,
to take up fishermen’s lines or trading ships. When they saw
that one barbarian horde, the Lombards, had stayed to settle the
upper Po valley (still called Lombardy), these Veneti decided to
remain on their new island homes and ally themselves instead
with the eastern remnant of the old Roman Empire, Byzantium.
Oddly, what we now consider central Venice was the last area
settled. After Attila the Hun rampaged through, citizens of the
Roman town of Altino moved out onto Torcello and founded
a tidy commercial empire under the control of the Byzantine.
Townsfolk from Oderzo moved to Malamocco and made it the
lagoon’s political capital (the original site is now underwater, and
the Malamocco that survives nearby is a fishing village on the
southern stretch of the Lido, near the golf course). After barely
defeating Charlemagne’s son Pepin there in 810, the capital was
moved to the more protected Rialto islands, now central Venice.
Greater Venice’s oldest surviving structure is the cathedral on
Torcello, founded in 639, but today’s site is largely from the 9th
and 10th centuries. In fact, sparsely populated Torcello is one
of the best glimpses into what early Venice must have looked
like -- scattered buildings and canals banked by waving rushes
and reeds, everything outlined by the dotted lines of wooden
piles hammered down into the mud. This construction is what
underlies all those stone palazzi of central Venice: a framework
foundation of sunken tree trunks, hammered down into the caranto
(a solid clay layer under the surface of mud and sand) and
preserved in the anaerobic atmosphere of their muddy tomb,
overlain with Istrian stone.
As its power began to peak in the early 13th century, Venice led
the fourth and most successful Crusade, capturing Constantinople
itself. It went on to conquer territories across what are today
Turkey, the Greek Isles, and Crete -- and eventually became the
capital of Italy’s inland provinces, now the Veneto, Trentino, and
Friuli. By 1300, it was one of the largest cities and the leading
maritime republic of Europe and the Mediterranean. Although
the Black Death carried off over half the population from 1347
to 1350, Venice bounced back and remained a maritime power
until the 18th century, when trade through the new American
colonies would increasingly steal much of the city’s thunder.
By the end of the 18th century, Venice had run out of steam
commercially, not to mention militarily, after centuries spent
fighting the Turks (who slowly regained most of Venice’s Aegean
and Greek territories). By the time Napoleon came along in
1797, the Venetian Republic offered little resistance. Napoleon
gave control of Venice to Austria, under whose rule it remained
for almost 70 years. Daniele Manin did stage an unsuccessful
minirevolution in 1848 and 1849, during which Venice was privileged
to become the first city attacked from the air, by a fleet of
hot-air balloons armed with long-fused time bombs. The Risorgimento
(unification) movement and its king, Vittorio Emanuele
II, defeated the Austrians, gained control of the Veneto, and
made it a part of the newly minted state of Italy in 1866.
In its position at the crossroads of the Byzantine and Roman
-- later Eastern and Western -- worlds, Venice, over many centuries,
acquired a unique amalgamated heritage of art, architecture,
and culture. And although hordes of traders and merchants
no longer pass through as they once did, Venice nonetheless
continues to find itself at a crossroads: an intersection in time
between the uncontested period of maritime power that built it
and the modern world that keeps it ever-so-gingerly afloat.

ROMOLO CACCIATORI
Chargeè de Missions National
Bailli del Veneto
Da sempre Venezia, prima dominatrice
e poi capitale della Regione Veneto,
è stata ambasciatrice di Bellezza,
di Arte e Cultura presso i Popoli di
Lingua e Religione anche diverse. Con
essi è sempre riuscita a dialogare sia
con il linguaggio della Diplomazia ma
anche dell’Arte: dell’Architettura, della
Pittura e della Scultura ed anche della
EnoGastronomia. Ha dato in questo
ultimo campo molto ma anche ha preso
dalle Genti con cui è venuta in contatto.
Il Veneto è una delle principali regioni
d’Italia, a livello turistico e industriale;
dopo Londra è Venezia la più visitata
città del Mondo. Grandi architetti come
il Palladio, grandi pittori - ne cito alcuni come Tiepolo,Tiziano, il Canaletto ed il
Mantegna -sono di nascita Veneta ed hanno lasciato le loro opere a Venezia ed in
ogni dove; non dimentichiamo, in tempi più recenti, il Canova, sommo sculture di
nascita Trevigiana. Ma dobbiamo ricordare e magnificare anche la grande Cucina
e la grande Enologia Veneta che si diversificano in ogni luogo, pur mantenendo
denominatori comuni. Due grandi vini sono conosciuti in tutto il mondo: il Prosecco
e l’Amarone e non ne cito altri per brevità. La Gastronomia varia fra una cucina di
pesce di acqua dolce del Lago di Garda e di pesci dei grandi fiumi e torrenti che
attraversano la Regione, ma non dimentichiamo il pesce di mare dell’Adriatico e
delle valli da pesca; la selvaggina proviene dai colli e dai monti oltre ad un’offerta
di pregiata carne dei pascoli e quindi grandi formaggi, ed una tradizione di
lavorazione di suini, quindi salumi pregiati e gustosi e, per finire, una serie completa
di pennuti (galline, faraone, anatre, oche, etc) difficilmente trovabile in altre Regioni.
Un’offerta completa enogastronomica che, assieme alla Cultura e all’Arte, vi potrà
fare gustare le sue eccellenze in questo Chapitre. La Gente Veneta laboriosa e
gentile vi accoglierà con grande piacere.
The gastronomy varies from dishes of freshwater fish from Lake Garda and from
rivers and streams which cross the Region, not to forget the sea fish from the
Adriatic and from the fishing valleys; the game comes from mountains and hills;
in addition the region offers a wide range of fine meats from its meadows, great
cheeses, and a tradition of charcuterie producing fine cold meats. In conclusion
it offers all forms of poultry (such as chicken, guinea-fowl, duck and goose)
which cannot be found easily in other regions. From oldest times, Venice, first
as the Capital and then as the dominant force in the Veneto region, has been an
Ambassadress, offering beauty, art, culture to peoples of different religions and
languages. Venice succeeded in creating a dialogue with all of them, by using
not only the language of diplomacy, but also the language of art, architecture,
painting, sculpture and even wine and food. In this context Venice made a generous
contribution of its own, but at the same time it accepted a lot of gifts from all the
people with whom it came in contact. Veneto is one of the main regions of Italy, from
a touristic and industrial point of view, but Venice is also the most visited city in the
world after London. Great architects such as Palladio and great painters (Tiepolo,
Tiziano – Titian -, Canaletto and Mantegna, to mention only a few) were born in
Veneto; they left their works in Venice and everywhere in the Region; not forgetting,
more recently, Canova, the leading sculptor, born in Treviso. But we also have to
remember and to celebrate the great tradition of cooking and wine of Veneto, which
varies from place to place, whilst maintaining certain common denominators. Of
these, two are the great wines, known all over the world: Prosecco and Amarone;
there is not enough space to mention so many others. The gastronomy varies
from dishes of freshwater fish from Lake Garda and from rivers and streams which
cross the Region, not to forget the sea fish from the Adriatic and from the fishing
valleys; the game comes from mountains and hills; in addition the region offers
a wide range of fine meats from its meadows, great cheeses, and a tradition of
charcuterie producing fine cold meats. In conclusion it offers all forms of poultry
(such as chicken, guinea-fowl, duck and goose) which cannot be found easily in
other regions. All these oeno-gastronomic delights, together with the culture and
art, will make you enjoy Veneto at its best during this Chapitre. The people of
Veneto, hard-working and kind, will give you a warm welcome during your stay.
