With the exception of Lake Nemi and some other basin of Lazio, the Romans never managed to replicate the fights of Neumachia.
Wherever these events were taking place, they immediately presented themselves after water problems, due to the lack of water supply. Lack of water, in fact, was a event that not even the same River Tiber was able to control.
This did not happen here with the arrival of the Celts. Here, water flowed from the sources in a natural way. The relation carried out after investigations by the archaeologist Franz Altheim , professor at the ancient University of Berlin and the Free University of Berlin , is supported by the analysis emerged after the dating of the numerous fish bones and shipwrecks found in the bed of lake, in part or completely burnt. The studies seem to confirm that the first to use the dock for entertainment with naumachia were them.
The examination of the boats found charred would be a further evidence of these events. The Maltarello, reported that the Querini-Montanari used to invite their friends to make them relive simulated fighting between boats and commemorations. Original Chinese masks and clothes were found in the dispatch of the villa adjacent to the amphitheater. This suggests that the arrival of Marco Polo were represented in China and that these clothes were donated by the Chinese to the Venetian nobility. Even today, the first official language between China and the New World, was the Venetian: all the clauses and the agreements between sailors were in the Venetian language. The Venetian was also the official language of the K.U.K. KRIEGSMARINE , when the Veneto was the twenty-third Austrian Province. The Venetians, well-educated navigators, knew very well every discovered route and, whatever they did not know directly, they could hear thanks to the Sagas narrated by their commercial emissaries in Denmark. . From the myth of the Vikings, of Ulysses to enhance their reputation, they had always need to assert their skills and thus extend their fame to the Venetian populations.
The Venetian people of the time who wanted to boast , compared to today, would not come to find cousins in Vicenza by a Ferrari built in Modena: he would come with his Venetian Bucentaur. Today this is an impossible event, as it seems that Napoleon in 1797 has burned each hull to steal the gold of the decorative friezes.
It is recalled that we are in an era where the sea had retreated and the connection to and from Venice took place among lakes and canals. On a smaller level, we have evidence that this kind of naval battles, similar to the ones held at the bay of the Port of Angels, happened at Villa Contarini in Piazzola sul Brenta. The theme was often the celebration of the maritime victories over the Turks.
As representations or fighting occurred: Old small boats were pulled in tow in large numbers into this basin (in the case of the Amphitheatre of the Port of Angels). They were often burned. Small and large wrecks were used, the amount of these remains, which continually come out plowed from the bottom of this lake, are evidence of the solemnity and popularity of the show, considered a distraction which was impossible to replicate into the lagoon.
At the base of the stands of the lower auditorium of the Theatre, the Port of Angels hosted these performances of boats. In the stories handed down about the locals, who were dedicated to look after the Fontego Veneziano until the dawn of 1800, two boats, like canoes, are remembered. Something like a modern catamaran.
A plank, opened on its central part, was posed on them. It was a sort of wooden surface shaped like a raft, above which the water source from the Monte Cucco ended its run and, finally, was canalized into a large shovel that was used to produce energy to a belt, headed by a saw. During Carnival masking was not spared to this structure!
