The essay concerns the research in progress on the archive of the engineer and architect Guido Costante Sullam (1873-1949) conserved by the Fondazione Musei Civici Veneziani. This is a heterogeneous documentary complex, produced and meticulously collected by Sullam during his professional, academic and institutional career. From here emerges one of the most interesting figures of the first half of the twentieth century in Venice not only for his professional production, but for the nodal role that he had in the transformation of the city and for his essential contribution in the transmission of knowledge, as well as in structuring of arts and crafts schools.
