National Archaeological Museum of Altino

The National Archaeological Museum of Altino (MANA) is located in Altino. The museum houses several major archaeological finds found in this area. This museum is included in the UNESCO heritage site of Venice.

The National Archaeological Museum of Altino (also known by the acronym MANA) is an archaeological museum located in the hamlet of Altino, in the municipality of Quarto d'Altino, in the province of Venice, near the archaeological site of Altinum.
The museum, which preserves the most representative archaeological finds of Altino (a Venetian and Roman center of great importance, active between the 8th century BC and the 5th century AD on the northern edge of the lagoon that will be Venice), together with the nearby archaeological site, is included in the world heritage site "Venice and its lagoon" protected by UNESCO.

A recent reconstruction of the Roman port of Altino: its identification came only in recent years, thanks to the most modern geolocalization technologies. The geologist Paolo Mozzi, of the University of Padua, and the professor of maritime archeology Carlo Beltrame, began a long study process which has led, today, to the identification of an L-shaped dock, photographed in 2009 by Professor Mozzi, as the real port of Altino
