At the lazaretto it is even possible to find the places where you can still see the signs of the pliers that you burn to sanitize the rooms. It is a truly unique site that also allows experiential tourism by immersing yourself in history. And the press that will come on the 26th will have the opportunity to see and film the houses where the isolated archaeological plague patients came to light numerous and important archaeological finds also come to light during the excavations and dating back to multiple eras and ancient graffiti also the human remains of young people who lost their lives affected by epidemics. I will therefore start from a strong place that also represents a message on the theme of climate change as the island of Lazzaretto Nuovo is a photograph of the eco-sustainable system of the Venice Lagoon, the most important in Europe and beyond. So I will cross the Balkans and along the way, for example, I will cross Georgia and other countries of Russian territory. In all likelihood, the kilometers to be covered will be around 22,000 km ”.

“The idea comes from curiosity and history, because I am very attached to history and after the journey to Italy of the German writer Wolfgang Goethe ended, I fell in love with Marco Polo and I realized that he is not well known by Venetians and all Italians. I am learning many things about Marco Polo – continued Vienna Cammarota – I am studying him and I have seen that he was really a great observer. I will bring Italy because I will tell about Marco Polo but I will also have with me some photos – postcards of our country, specially made by a photographer. I always say that history, culture but specifically archeology made me discover many things that I did not know and along the way I will go to the discovery of cultural sites.
It will also be a path of cultural integration between different peoples, including Italy. I have a physiotherapist who is following me from a distance but I am also facing a psychological preparation “.
