Our conference “Have the Gods Fallen?” may be over, but the discussions, ideas, and friendships that emerged during these days will stay with us for a long time.
This group photo was taken on the beautiful terrace of the German Center for Venetian Studies at Palazzo Barbarigo, which provided a truly extraordinary setting for the opening of the conference.
Our sincere thanks go to Director Richard Erkens and Vice Director Albrecht Cordes for their warm hospitality and generous support.
These have been unforgettable days, filled with stimulating interdisciplinary discussions, new perspectives, and inspiring encounters with colleagues and friends from different countries.
Many more photos and, above all, video content, will be shared soon.

Stay tuned and follow the MICOLL page for updates. The conversation is far from over! 📚🌍✨
