The symposium brings together experts in medicine, economics, politics, sociology, philosophy, and law, with the goal of developing global and sustainable solutions. The event underscores the importance of international collaboration, offering concrete reflections to minimise the human and economic damage of future health crises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venice has been devastated over the centuries by dramatic epidemics, with votive basilicas such as the Salute and the Redentore serving as lasting reminders.

This hypothesis will be examined alongside the connections between the plague and not only the biographical events of Ciconia and his patrons but also contemporary musical repertoires.

Three plague epidemics remain particularly memorable, engraved in time and memory: 1348, 1576 and 1630. e impact of an epidemic on any society is comparable to that of a war, easily leading to a loss of heart in the face of an emergency situation. Indeed, the great plagues put medical knowledge to the test, along with the dimension of religious faith and that of the collective psyche. At the same time, Venice demonstrated an extraordinary resilience in the face of its epidemics, adapting to the emergency with a spirit of social solidarity and resourcefulness in terms of organisation and healthcare. And also with faith: just think of the cult of Saint Roch, venerated in the lagoon city with a devotion that preceded his formal canonisation in 1629. Or the symbolic response, with architecture, to the last two plagues: the construction of the churches \u2013 genuine temples of hope \u2013 of \u2018Redentore\u2019 and \u2018Salute\u2019, masterpieces by Andrea Palladio and Baldassarre Longhena. In order to resume reflection on epidemic emergencies in Venice\u2019s past and how relevant these reflections may be in the present, a study day will be held on 17 October 2025 on the initiative of the Institute for the History of Venice, at which specialists, general historians and historians of medicine \u2013 along with health experts of our times \u2013 will be present. e aim is to understand and highlight the complexity of those historical experiences \u2013 medical, health, social and cultural \u2013 recorded in Venice during the conjunctures of the great epidemics.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cini.it\/en\/eventi\/venice-and-epidemics\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"accordion-container \" >\n        <div class=\"title-wrapper\">\n            <div>\n                                    <h3 class=\"h3-accordion-title\">\n                        SYMPOSIUM | 13 - 15 NOVEMBER 2025                    <\/h3>\n                                <div class=\"accordion-title-container\">\n                    <span class=\"accordion-header-text-span\">Democracy and Pandemics.
