Biography
Salvatore Valenti is a post-doctoral research fellow in History at the Department of Humanities at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. As an urban historian, I am particularly interested in the relationship between water and society. My current project is on the impact of Asiatic Cholera on water infrastructures in Italian cities during the 19th century (part of the ERC Advanced Grant "The Water Cultures of Italy, 1500-1900").
