The Propeller Club of Venice publishes an essay on the last 50 years of the port
The author of "Facts and Misdeeds in the Garden of Venice" is Massimo Bernardo
May 22, 2020
"In these 50 years of history of the lagoon port system Veneto - observed Massimo Bernardo - we lived and shared successes and complex crises, we have witnessed the birth of new companies and, alas, the death of so many others. Depending on the presidents, the exaltation of new projects and the demolition of them often in a scandalous succession of stop and go that still find no rational explanations. In this long navigation, from the control deck to the last hold, we have known true and great "commanders" and good "hubs", freshwater sailors and "winking sirens", cheap smarts but also proven and wise entrepreneurs. In this context , the author of "Facts and Misdeeds in the Venice Garden" - no my judgment on men, women or what happened, but a warm invitation, yes, to careful consideration by my readers, a heartfelt invitation especially to those young people who today already operate or will work in the world of transport to which I can only remember that "only well knowing the past can we build a peaceful future."
Among the contributions to the publication, those of Umberto Masucci, Vincenzo Marinese, Claudio Boniciolli, Andrea Razzini and many other members of the Port of Venice Propeller: maritime lawyers, owners of maritime agencies, terminals, shipping houses and customs officers.
