“Arrecar detrimento all’acque” – “To damage the waters”. These words, etched onto the Cippo di conterminazione lagunare n. 90, speak volumes about Venice’s historical relationship with its lagoon. The Cippo di conterminazione lagunare n. 90 is not just a boundary stone. It represents a centuries-old effort to protect the delicate balance of this unique environment. Imagine the Venetian Republic at its height. Trade routes buzzed with activity. The lagoon was not just a beautiful backdrop but a vital artery of trade and defense. To safeguard this lifeline, the Republic meticulously marked its boundaries. These markers, the Cippi di conterminazione lagunare, were more than geographic delineations. They were a statement of authority, a promise of protection, and a warning against any action that could “damage the waters”. The Cippo di conterminazione lagunare n. 90, standing here before you since 1791, has silently witnessed the ebb and flow of Venetian life. It saw the Republic’s power wane and the rise of modern challenges. Yet, its message of conservation remains starkly relevant. The lagoon is Venice’s lifeblood. Its health and preservation are paramount. The inscription on the Cippo di conterminazione lagunare n. 90 serves as a potent reminder of this delicate relationship, a call to respect and protect the waters that cradle this extraordinary city.
