description During First World War, in Venice, the art works were protected by Superintendencies and National Army, but were also used by the government in propaganda operations. The transferral of the paintings and sculpture pieces as much as the defence of Churches and Palaces was impressive but far from easy: venetian people felt it was questioning its own identity. During Fascism and World War II, Venice was less important in Italian propaganda: the new star was imperial Rome. But, after the nazi-occupation, the Serenissima and its masterpieces provided some hopes to the people: that all the treasures may serve as a protection against allied bombings. After the 20th century wars, the City seemed to be a quiet place but new difficulties arose after the 1966’s flood.
