In 1482, in his masterpiece Itinerario per la terraferma veneziana, Marin Sanuto (a Venetian historian) wrote about the old Venetian castle of Belforte, located not so far from the current centre of Monfalcone. Nowadays, this artefact is not isolated, but hidden in the ideal “wunderkammer” that is the ancient lacus Timavi.
Infact, in the middle of Caput Adriae (the northernmost part of the Adriatic sea) between the sea and the Karst there is a hidden heritage of naturalistic wonders from the past, from prehistoric times to industrial archaeology. This heritage is part of the ancient coastal basin named lacus Timavi, now totally transformed, but of which the memory still remains.
The purpose of the Cultural Association Lacus Timavi is mainly to study the changes that have occured in this geographical area, an important crossroads of land and sea routes, in order not to forget its legacy. The research has been conducted by observing the changes in the landscape, patiently searching archives and allowing its fruition by using the immediacy of images and contemporary media.
The Association, combining events organising and knowledge of the local territory, aims to gather the passion of a multidisciplinary working group, in order to promote research, divulgation and didactic activities using multimedial technologies.
