Uncelebrated Venice - Book Presentation

Join Professor Angelo Maggi for a presentation of his latest book Uncelebrated Venice. Venezia Minore by Egle Renata Trincanato. A New Critical Edition published by Anteferma in 2025.

First published in 1948, Venezia Minore – or Uncelebrated Venice – is Egle Renata Trincanato’s landmark study of Venice’s urban fabric from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century. A pioneering architect and scholar, Trincanato was the first woman to graduate in Architecture from the Regio Istituto Superiore di Venezia in 1938. Her meticulous research laid the foundation for later morphological studies, shaping the way we understand the city’s lesser-known architectural heritage.

Now, on the 77th anniversary of its original publication, this new English critical edition brings Trincanato’s insights to an international audience. Rich with her original drawings and archival materials preserved in the Università Iuav di Venezia’s Archivio Progetti, this edition also reproduces her rare layout mockup – annotated by hand and carefully composed. More than a book, Uncelebrated Venice stands as a testament to Trincanato’s vision of the printed page as both an intellectual and artistic creation.

Angelo Maggi is Associate Professor of Architectural History and History of Architectural Photography at Università Iuav di Venezia. Maggi trained as an architect at the Università Iuav di Venezia, and he obtained his PhD in Architecture and Visual Studies at Edinburgh College of Art.

Following the conversation, guests will have the opportunity to purchase the book.

Doors open at 18.00, the talk will start at 18.30.
