SYNOPSIS

In the 15th and 16th centuries, Venice’s rivalry with the Ottoman Empire led to the creation of a formidable fleet and ultimately to victory at Lepanto in 1571. Behind this naval power lay an unprecedented strategy to manage the forests and timber essential to shipbuilding. A fascinating journey into the Venetian Arsenal and an early example of large-scale natural resource management in the service of war.
