This undeveloped plot with a surface area of 26 hectares is the largest piece of available empty land in Venice, which has made it the subject of countless speculation initiatives, such as the controversial idea of digging
a railway tunnel under the lagoon to link the city with its airport, with a station located in this area.
The marvels of sewers, driverless
railways, subterranean rivers, secret wartime factories and shelters, abandoned tram
tunnels, and even schemes that never got
under the ground, are all here.
