...wants you to feel the sleeve of his cashmere jacket, listen to the ping of his crystal goblet, ponder the intricate pattern of his silk tie. He wants you to follow him out a side door of his elegant office and down a back staircase to a craftsman's workshop virtually unchanged since the 19th century. All the while, he is rhapsodizing, "This is amazing! This is unique! This is fantastique!"

The "ideas network" would be centered in the 80-acre Arsenale, the old shipbuilding yards of the Venetian navy. Along the edge of the lagoon, from the polluted petrochemical shores of Marghera to Marco Polo airport, a "Riviera of culture and technology" would be tied together by an aboveground metro. Planners promise that the construction would create 5,000 jobs, as well as a sophisticated electronics- and-communicati ons system to serve the city in the next century...
