Introduction
Research Question: "Who owns and who operates the Venitian traghetti?"
Objectives:
- Analyze who the owners of the ferries are?
- Are there prevalent families owning most of the businesses? If so who are they and what are their social and political position in the city
- Is the ownership stable throughout the years? (Comparing with Sommarioni data?) (Comparing with present data?)
- Are the owners of Traghetti building centers (squero) the same as owners of traghetti businesses?
- What other businesses Traghetti owners have and are they in some way related to the Traghetti?
- Analyze who exploits the ferries?
- Is it a family specific business or open to anyone willing to do such work?
- Do the families exploiting the traghetti stay the same? (Compare with present data / Sommarioni?)
- Spatial analysis
- Are there specific families owning or exploiting in specific parts of the city? If so, why?
- Why are traghetti where they are ? (Usually on the main canal, but sometimes not)
- Which zones are most profitable for traghetti owners (based on rental prices?)
