Outline of Final Research Achievements

The study examined the way in which cities and surrounding areas were formed in close connection with waterways (routes) such as rivers and canals, and overland routes such as roads, on the Adriatic coast of northern Italy and its surrounding areas. The study covered the Adriatic coast, the Bacchiglione river basin, the Piave river basin and the Po river basin, where the influence of the Roman Empire and the Venetian Republic could be identified. For the Laguna Veneta, which extends around Venice, it was possible to follow the formation process of the islands of the Laguna and capture their relationship with the surrounding area.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、古代から現代まで俯瞰するという時間的領域と、空間的領域のどちらも新しい試みである。空間的領域として、ヴェネツィアの形成と発展の本質を解読するためにヴェネツィアだけでなく、その周辺をとりまくラグーナ、さらにその背後に広がるテッラフェルマとの関係について考察する。また、グラードからラヴェンナまでの都市および田園も含めた一帯を俯瞰して捉え、それぞれの都市を位置づける新たな試みとなる。
