1.11 Nowtilus: Tutte le Venezie del Mondo con Alberto Toso Fei

All The Venices of The World. Postcards, Comics, Games, and Curiosities from Alberto Toso Fei’s Collection. For the last episode of 2020, “Nowtilus. Stories from an urban lagoon in the 21st century” hosts writer and journalist Alberto Toso Fei for a conversation about a truly special collection of objects. In dialogue with Enrico Bettinello, Toso Fei reveals his collection of memorabilia linked to Venice, and explains the often misrepresented, fictionalized, and exaggerated imagery of the most reproduced city in the world. From postcards that represent the “Venices” of other countries, to comics that portray their protagonists struggling with gondolas and canals, to musical scores, games and bizarre things that sum up the myth of the lagoon city and its unexpected interpretations.
