Serenissima Navigator

💎 Idea Serenissima Navigator is a shared cultural network platform where tourists, researchers, students, local residents, artisans, and small businesses collaboratively preserve the living heritage of the Repubblica Serenissima di Venezia. The platform supports responsible cultural tourism, environmental awareness, and historical continuity by pairing community knowledge with space-based environmental intelligence solving mains problems as overtourism in Venice and other major cities.

🛰️ EU space technologiesSerenissima Navigator integrates multiple Copernicus services—Marine, Land, Atmosphere, and Climate—to monitor lagoon conditions, land use changes, air quality, and long-term climate trends. These datasets help identify fragile heritage zones and guide visitors responsibly. Galileo GNSS ensures precise geolocation for routing to meaningful yet less-crowded sites, reducing stress on Venice’s sensitive cultural and ecological environments.

🚀 EU Space for Consumer Experience (Challenge #3)We address “Beyond Horizons – Redefining Travel with Space Innovation.”Serenissima Navigator transforms tourism into cultural participation. Visitors explore Venice’s heritage while understanding environmental dynamics, learning how climate and urban pressures shape the lagoon. The experience encourages mindful mobility and re-establishes Venice not just as a destination, but as a living, evolving cultural system.
