ππ¨βπ¬11 November 1788. Pietro PaleΓ²capa, an Italian scientist, engineer and later politician was born in Nese, Alzano Lombardo (BG), at the time under Venice domination. His family was of Greek origins and they decided to emigrate and live in Venice territory.
In 1840 #Paleocapa became a general manager in Venice, and oversaw the works on the rivers Brenta, Bacchiglione, Adige, Tartaro-Canalbianco-Po di Levante, the drainage of several marshy areas near #Verona and the construction of a dam in #Malamocco, Venice.
He was a patriot and believed in #Italy unification, and he played an important role in the negotiation for the π annexation of Venice to the then Kingdom.
The first monument statue πΈβοΈwe all meet when entering Venice historical centre is dedicated to him: it was placed inside the Papadopoli Gardens, built and commissioned by the Papadopoli family in the XIX century, still today the first and largest green areaπ³ we see in #SantaCroce district.
Do you remember this place?

π¨βπ¨19 April 1588. Painter Paolo Veronese (see his self portaitβοΈπΈ) passed away in his house in San SamueleβοΈπΈ, Venice and was buried in San Sebastiano ChurchβοΈπΈ, surrounded by his paintings and frescoes which still today we can admire in there.
Paolo Caliari (born in 1528) became known as #Veronese in Venice because he came from #Verona where he learned his art from local painters.
#PaoloVeronese is perhaps one the most visited painters in the world! That is due to the fact that many of his paintings and frescoes decorate the walls and ceiling of one of the most visited places in the world: The Doge's Palace in #SanMarco Square!βοΈπΈ
Veronese is considered a member of the "great trio" that dominated Venetian #Renaissance painting, the other 2 being π Tiziano and πTintoretto.
His works are held in the most important museums of the world, see in the Chat Roomπ some of his paintings you can admire here in Venice.
