Diego Calaon, Ca’ Foscari University
Melissa Conn, Director, Venice Office, Save Venice Inc.

Archaeologist Diego Calaon and Save Venice’s own Melissa Conn join us from Venice to discuss the latest findings from the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta on the island of Torcello. Last summer, during conservation of the famous mosaics – sponsored by Save Venice – restorers discovered frescoes from the ninth century that changed our notions of how the church appeared in earlier centuries. These frescoes and other archaeological discoveries propose a new understanding of Torcello’s role in Venetian history.
