Venice is an extremely rich and varied yet fragile ecosystem and a multi faceted artistic and cultural archipelago, which goes far beyond the historic centre that is so extensively photographed by tourists and broadcast on the media. It includes other islands – such as Murano and Burano, which are also mass tourism destinations, Giudecca, Sant’Andrea, Lazzaretto Nuovo, which has become an ecomuseum dedicated to knowledge about the lagoon, and Lazzaretto Vecchio – as well as the mainland districts of Mestre and Marghera.
