jects in the field of digital and public humanities (Dupré et al. 2020). The theoretical reflections and case studies summed up in this issue go even further, connecting digital tools for reconstruction purposes with a steady openness of their scientific outcome, such as to make the public delivery of results an intrinsic step of these modes of research (Beacham, Denard 2003). Hence, every analytical endeavour is tightly knit together with a lure for public display that allows scholars as well as the wider audience to appreciate the [re] configuration of lost realities, the [re]creation of long gone dimensions, the [re]building of likely scenarios, and the [re]covering of disappeared traces.Most conveniently, this year's last issue comes also at the end of the Excellence Initiative (Progetto d'Eccellenza) that fed and carried the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities over a few years, funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research. Henceforth, it truly represents the legacy of that seminal period which brought together enthusiastic minds and sensibilities from around the world to Ca' Foscari University of Venice, in order to kick-start a durable research outpost in the Digital and Public Humanities, as well as a wide network of collaborating scholars. The activities developed and the relations activated in these truly frantic years speak numbers and stand for themselves: the centre is running a unique international master programme in Digital and Public Humanities, by now in its third year. A biennial summer school was held for the first time in presence in Venice in collaboration with numerous local GLAM institutions such as La Biennale di Venezia, the Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Palazzo Grimani and M9, a museum narrating the Italian 20th century with immersive environments and multimedia technologies, but also with independent activists and organisations such as S.a.L.E. DOCKS. The call for applications attracted more than 160 candidates from all over the world of which only a number of 25 participants could be invited. As one outcome of the summer school, an uncurated virtual exhibition of the Tetrarchs and Arsenal Lions Hidden in Plain Sight was launched in November 2022, running until January 15, 2023. 2 Another core activity of the centre has been to raise competences and capacities of doctoral students and advanced researchers regarding essential methodologies for digital scholarship and public engagement as well as emerging technologies related to linked open data, semantic web, computer vision, handwritten text recognition to name just a few. At the heart of numerous collaborative projects there is a team of research software engineers ded-2 Hidden in Plain Sight. An (Un)curated Exhibition on the Tetrarchs and Arsenal Lions of Venice.
