Implementation activities
The Guide Plan completed in '94 defined a wide area of intervention, divided into several project areas: Forte Marghera, Canale Salso, Osellino Canal, Passo Campalto, the lagoon front of Campalto, Punta San Giuliano, the island of sculptures and 'Area Pili. Of the park complex set up in the Guide Plan, the City Administration has subsequently set the implementation priorities in relation to political-administrative urgencies, financial availability and ownership of the areas. On Friday 7 November 2003, the President of the European Commission, Romano Prodi, and the Mayor of Venice, Paolo Costa, presented the San Giuliano Park to the citizens at the North Entrance of the Park. For three days the Park was open to citizens with entertainment activities and initiatives as well as the activation of a train for a circular route. On 8 May 2004, the San Giuliano Park was officially inaugurated with the cutting of the ribbon by the Mayor Paolo Costa together with the Architect Antonio Di Mambro and the President of the Institution Il Parco Giovanni Caprioglio. In 2010, three pergolas, new toilets and two changing rooms were built. (1).

Type of innovation
Please specify technological innovation
The construction of the Parco di San Giuliano is one of the most ambitious projects among those included among the Italian proposals allowed for European contribution. Certainly Venice is one of the most significant urban reconstruction projects for consistency, complexity and articulation, as well as the difficulties of implementation due to the strong environmental degradation of the site. The proposal for environmental remediation and restoration of marine ecology - a complex yet delicate and rapidly advancing sector - represents the beginning of a policy of conservation of the lagoon habitat, which can reverse the processes of degradation of existing natural resources on the lagoon edge (1 and 2).
