📜🌍🔭 21 August 1609. The first time man could see publicly through a telescope... it happened in Venice! 🔭💪🏻
Galileo Galilei, Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer from Pisa, simply one of the most important figures in human history, considered the "father of observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of the scientific method", "the father of modern science", shows the first realization of his revolutionary instrument, the telescope, to the Doge and the Senators on the Bell Tower of #SanMarco, in Venice!
The attendands were all left breathless since they were able to clearly see the distant town of Chioggia from the bell tower.
Returning to #Padua, where he resided at the time, #Galileo further worked in the years on his telescope, bringing it to 20 and even 30 magnification, when the contemporary telescopes of Dutch construction reached just 4 !!! 😳👏
That day of 1609 has been marked by a plaque, still there today on a corner of St.Mark's Campanile 📸☝️

📜🏝26 August 1717. The island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni is born in Venice, in front of the Lido.
San Lazzaro was ceded by the Republic of Venice to Mkhitar Sebastatsi, an Armenian Catholic monk, who established a monastery with his followers. It has since been the headquarters of the Mekhitarists and one of the world's centers of Armenian culture, studies and diaspora. Numerous important publications, such as the first complete dictionary of the Armenian language (1749–69) and the first modern history of #Armenia (1781–86), were made in the island by the monks which made it an early major center of Armenian printing.
In San Lazzaro degli Armeni there are about 170,000 volumes, of which 4,500 are manuscripts, Arab, Indian and Egyptian artifacts, the mummy of Nehmeket.
Today the island is still inhabited only by monks, reachable and visitable with a dedicated public waterbus which runs twice a day and needless to say, it's the most in demand attraction for Armenians who visit Venice!

🎥 1 September 2021. Venice in Movie Series.
Welcome Venice, a local film directed by Andrea Segre is premiéred at Venice Film Festival.
💬 Plot Pietro and Alvise are the two heirs of a "moeche" 🦀 fishing family in Giudecca island, Venice. Like everyone here they are overwhelmed by the unstoppable transformation that is changing the life and identity of Venice and its residents: the deep impact of global tourism has changed the relationship between city and citizens, between home and life and the pandemic has made this crisis even more evident. In spite of fatigue and loneliness, Pietro would like to continue fishing moeche 🦀, the typical crabs of the #Lagoon; Alvise, on the other hand, sees in their house in #Giudecca a business opportunity in tourist rental and for entering the real estate elites of the city. Their confrontation involves the whole family on how our world is changing.

👨🎨13 September 1506. Andrea Mantegna (above his sculpture portrait☝️) passes away in Mantova.
Born near #Padua, in a place that today is named after him (Isola Mantegna) at the time under the Republic of Venice, #Mantegna was one the most prominent painters and engravers of the early #Renaissance.
Some said he was the only artist able to "sculpt on a painting".
#AndreaMantegna was brother-in-law of another fantastic 👉 Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini.
Mantegna's works are held in the most important Italian and international museums.
In Venice we can admire just 2 of them, those in the pictures above☝️:
San Sebastiano at Museum Franchetti inside the #CaDOro and San Giorgio inside the #AccademiaGalleries.
