  Hidden Venice | Historical Urban Walking Trails  
   
 
 

Hidden Venice is an immersive smartphone app with walking trails that bring early modern Venice to life through storytelling and historical research. Co-developed by Fabrizio Nevola (University of Exeter, VIU Spring 2026), the app guides users through three richly imagined itineraries set in 1572, 1639, and 1730, blending fictional narrators with scholarly context. Each trail reveals the city’s social worlds, from migrant communities to artisans and Carnival culture, offering a dynamic public history experience. A new student-developed trail is currently in progress, expanding this innovative digital project.
