## Film: The Third Column

A marine scientist and a historian go on a highly personal search to find the long-lost third column of St Marks Square in Venice, rumoured to have sunk in the Lagoon over 900 years ago. Enlisting the help of the Italian Navy and state of the art underwater technology, will one of Venice’s most notorious secrets finally be revealed? Following our protagonists we discover what motivates them to attempt such an ambitious challenge and why it’s so important to them, and to Venice.

Una scienziata marina ed uno storico intraprendono una ricerca per trovare la terza colonna di San Marco a Venezia, che si narra sia affondata nella laguna più di 900 anni fa. Con l'aiuto della Marina Militare Italiana e delle più avanzate tecnologie subacquee, sarà finalmente svelato uno dei più noti misteri di Venezia? Seguendo i protagonisti, scopriremo cosa li motiva ad affrontare una sfida così ambiziosa e perché questa sia così importante per loro e per Venezia.
