Andrea Toffolon
Università degli Studi di Padova, Dipartimento di Scienze Storiche, Geografiche e dell'Antichità (DiSSGeA), PhD (Dottorato in Studi Storici, Geografici, Antropologici - Università degli studi di Padova, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia)
I hold a MA in History and a MA in History of Art, both from the University of Verona.
As a PhD candidate (Università degli Studi di Padova, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia), I am currently involved in the ERC project "The Water Cultures of Italy, 1500-1900", led by David Gentilcore.
My research aims to reconstruct the knowledge, practices and representations of thermal water in early modern Italy, with a focus on the Republic of Venice. In particular, I analyse the therapeutic uses of thermal waters and the overlap between medical and religious aspects in the Venetian spas.
My other research interests are the building of civic identity in the Venetian Mainland, and the role of the violence in the early modern society.
