Abstract
Venice’s critical environment is a paradigmatic case for comprehending socio-environmental history in dialogue with the Earth sciences. Venice, the water city, and its lagoon offer a multi-layered and very telling case for studying the longue durée of human interventions in local settings, a scale on which natural causes and human agency are usually not so easily separated. The diachronic and cross-disciplinary investigation that Venice invites is what the historian and philosopher Pietro Daniel Omodeo and the applied geologist Sebastiano Trevisani advocate in order to understand the forces that have led the globe to transition into the Anthropocene.
