Osservatorio Artico has published an article by Enrico Peschiera on Via Querinissima, exploring the journey from Venice to the Arctic and following in the footsteps of Pietro Querini

"A significant milestone for European cultural heritage is the official designation of the Via Querinissima as a Council of Europe Cultural Route,

Querini was born in Candia in 1400. His origins can be traced to the wider Malevizi region and, more specifically, to the village of Pentamodi, which today belongs to the Municipality of Heraklion. But what was the social, economic and religious situation in Candia during those years?

This article explores Malevizi’s Venetian heritage through its monuments, historic sites and local traditions, with particular reference to Tylissos and its long-standing tradition of salted cod.

From Candia to the Lofoten Islands and Back: the Shipwreck of the Querina, Stockfish, and a Memory that Still Lives On.

Long before Pietro Querini reached Røst, dried cod was already travelling from northern Norway to Europe. The Venetian merchant’s shipwreck did not mark the birth of stockfish, but it gave an Italian face to a much older commercial story, one that would eventually become part of the country’s culinary memory.

Press Release: Via Querinissima is awarded the certification as a Cultural Route of the Council of Europe

The Via Querinissima International Cultural Association and the Verona Association of Ancient Games are pleased to announce the launch of a new collaboration
