The talk delves into the life of a remarkable woman who significantly influenced the Venetian scene of the twentieth century. This narrative traces a pioneering journey for women, beginning with access to university studies in the 1930s, advancing to teaching roles, and breaking into the architectural profession. Egle Renata Trincanato (1910-1998) followed an unprecedented path: her passions were not confined to the private sphere but were vividly evident in the public arena, driven by her love for Venice. Her insights led to a reinterpretation of the city’s history and spurred her active involvement in preserving Venice’s unique morphology. She fostered a civic passion and endeavored to engage the entire public of the Serenissima, enabling her to become a conscious protagonist in guiding urban planning policies. Additionally, Trincanato’s role is pivotal in the conservation field; her dedication and efforts have left an enduring legacy, underscoring the importance of preserving the cultural and physical heritage of Venice.
