The casoni<\/em> were dwellings made of wooden poles, beams, and reed roofs. Although being a very common form of shelter in the Veneto countryside, casoni were unhealthy, unhygienic, and offered very little protection from the cold winter weather. Casoni were a symbol of misery, poverty, and social immobilism and for this reason their memory has been neglected to the point that no trace of their once considerable presence can be found today in Mestre and its environs.<\/p>\n

The exhibition at the Torre Civica \u2013 the outcome of a research campaign carried out by the Centro Studi Storici di Mestre in the course of several years \u2013 and Ulderico Bernardi\u2019s conference set out to shed light on the miserable living conditions of many of our forefathers.<\/p>\n

I.R.E. VENEZIA and other Regional Institutions have contributed to the project providing documentation attesting the existence of these edifices, granting the loan of drawings donated by former residents of Institutions and photographs from the Filippi photographic archive. The exhibition can be a way for visitors to acknowledge the need to requalify and enhance our territory\u2019s extraordinary naturalistic, historical, landscape, and architectural patrimony.<\/p>\n
