ABSTRACT
The emerging dialogue between new media and traditional historical research offers multidisciplinary teams the option of innovative approaches to visualizing and communicating historical information. The complex consists of the most important museum in Venice, the Accademia, installed in the former church and Scuola Grande of the Carità and its adjacent convent of Lateran canons, a complex partially rebuilt in the middle of the sixteenth century by Andrea Palladio. Once the group had assembled the historical source materials and identified a number of phases of transformation of the area, the aspect of urban relations was chosen as the most interesting and useful to gallery visitors wishing to understand the changes that had taken place in these complex and variously organized spaces over time. Throughout the various stages of transformation of the complex, the insula appears as a transitional space stretching between the Grand Canal and the Giudecca Canal.
