QUESTION

How did Venice become a city built on water?

ANSWER

Traditionally, it was thought that the lagoon in which Venice is situated was first settled around the fifth century AD, by people fleeing ‘barbarian’ invasions. However, we now know that many parts of the lagoon, including the island of Torcello, were settled in the late Roman era.

In any case, there is no doubt that people did migrate from terra firma (the mainland) to the most remote parts of the lagoon to escape invasion by Attila and the Lombards. Interestingly, Venice did not expand like cities normally do, from a core outwards: rather, the many different island settlements gradually expanded until their boundaries met. So what was once an archipelago of islands in marshland grew into the six sestieri we know today (in addition to all the major and minor islands scattered around Venice).

Because of the marshy topography of Venice, the only way the small islands could be expanded was to drive piles of pine into the sea bed. As long as it has no contact with air, pine actually hardens in water -it sort of petrifies. Wooden boards were laid on top of the piles, and istrian stone was laid on top of the wooden boards. This is how the foundations of palaces and other buildings were created.

Another interesting clue about how Venice could expand over water can be found in some of the street names (indeed, Venetian street names hide a lot of fascinating secrets
