Wissenschaftsgeschichte in Berlin with two dissertations

In
2002 we participated, together with Mauro Bondioli, in the International
Symposium on Ship Construction in Antiquity (TROPIS),
organised by the Hellenic Institute for the Preservation
of Nautical Tradition, Hydra (Grecia), with a presentation
entitled:
The Libro de rason de Galie et Nave de ogni sorte by pre'

| In
2004 and 2005 we held the F.S.E. Course for Building Wooden
Boats held by the Confartigianato at the Island of San
Giorgio in Venice. The module we taught concerned the
history and theory of ships and in particular the types of
traditional Venetian boats and ships and their design and
construction. We will soon complete a book illustrating the
work carried out during the course which will be used as a
manual for students of future courses.
