Cistern, Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Venice, Veneto, Italy


The only locally available source of fresh water in the lagoon is rain.


Since rain is intermittent, seasonal and unreliable, cisterns are essential.  When it rains the water must be collected and stored for later use.


The structures we see around Venice and in the lagoon are in reality very elaborate and cleverly engineered rain water collectors and cisterns.


The origin of the rain water collecting cisterns must go back to the very first settlements in the lagoon. Our need for fresh water is biological and cannot be rescinded, but the first remains we have are medieval.


Some older wellheads in stone clearly resemble earlier wooden wellheads, which can give us an idea, but otherwise we know little of how the earlier wells looked.
