This conference aims to explore the dialogue between Venice and the Adriatic area from a specific perspective: of the construction of the past. We would like to create a dialogue between specialists from various disciplines and examine the validity of interdisciplinary approaches: textual and visual, material, and historiographic. The chronological and geographical perspective chosen, which covers the late Middle Ages and the early modern age and focuses on the interaction between Venice and other centers in the Adriatic area, will indeed enable us to describe how the past is used to explore the mechanism of memory and recognition through which, when looking at artifacts or reading texts staging Venetian past, beholders are reminded of the shared values this past embodies.
