He is best known for the installation of the "Moon" in the sea of Thermaikos Gulf (1995), which reflects light along with the real moon higher above.

Το λιμάνι, η οδός Δωδεκανήσου, η πλατεία Βαρδαρίου, οι μάντρες της οδού Λαγκαδά, τα τουρκόσπιτα της Άνω Πόλης. Έτσι, η Εγνατία δεν εκφράζει μόνο τη λαϊκότητα, που είχε τη δυνατότητα να επιλέξει ο Βενετούλιας, χωρίς να είναι εξαρχής δέσμιός της, αλλά και το αίτημα μιας υψηλότερης και πνευματικότερης ζωής, που εξέφρασε με ήπια, αλλά ισχυρή διαμαρτυρία μέσα από τη ζωγραφική του".
Κείμενο καταλόγου για την αναδρομική έκθεση με τίτλο "Λουκάς Βενετούλιας. Ελαιογραφίες, ανέκδοτα σχέδια και μελέτες" που επιμελήθηκε η συγγραφέας για λογαριασμό της Αίθουσας Τέχνης του Δήμου Νεάπολης το 2000.

An Abbott himself though, John Nelson Abbott Jr., son of John (Tzeky) Abbott, had also made an appearance in literature. In his travelogue “Sketches of Modern Athens”, London 1849, he recalls his impressions from his school years in Athens (1842-1848). This paper follows his steps from the Greek capital to London, where he ventured as a foreign merchant and stockbroker, through British newspapers and archives. His personal failure marks the end of the main branch of the Abbotts in the twilight of the Ottoman era, in the frame of which they flourished.

This paper explores the numerous reports on the Greek Revolution at Chalcidice, which picture an important front of the struggle. The British Press received favorably every actual or supposed victory over the Turks. Although the Revolution at Chalcidice ended in November 2021 with the fall of Cassandra, the Philhellenic public opinion, which most of the publications shared, contributed eventually to Greek Independence.

The rescue excavation that followed the catastrophic fire of September 2005 in the Metropolitan church of Agios Stephanos Arnaia, Halkidiki, led to the uncovering of at least four previous phases of the monument, from the early Christian to the post-Byzantine era. The paper proposes a better evaluation of the demolition products found on the ground of the post-Byzantine monuments, as serious indications of their history and the possible investigation of the floor with non-destructive methods.

At the beginning of 1867, the French forest inspector, M. Chervau, embarks on behalf of the Ottoman government on a large expedition to Macedonia, in order to explore its forests and locate those that could bring in revenue in the most convenient way. It runs, as he notes, through the entire "southern part of the province and the valley of Strymonas (Karasu) in the northeast". During the journey, without straying from his goal, he carefully observed the "once famous country" and recorded "the main features of its physiognomy". In his memories, which he published fourteen years later in the "Memoirs of the Geographical and Historical Society of Bourguignon", a special place is reserved for a wedding in "Larigova" (Liarigovi, today Arnaia), to which he was invited, as a distinguished foreigner that he was, and had the opportunity to closely observe all its stages. His description does not lack admiration for the vitality of the society that hosted him. Interesting elements are the adoption of urban habits and the connection of young people with the national center through clothing.

From Larigova to Hyde Park. Arnaia (Chalcidice) after the Revolution of 1821, as seen in an unknown Victorian literary work.
A short uncredited story entitled “Why I live at Hyde Park”, published in “The Cornhill Magazine” in 1868 relates a Larigova (present Arnaia, Chalcidice) native with the Greek merchands of Victorian London, bringing similarities to the famous modern Greek literature novel “Loukis Laras” by Dimitrios Vikelas, published 11 years later. This paper investigates the accuracy of the descriptions compared to the travelers’ accounts of Chalcidice and attempts to identify the writer. It concludes that no immediate experience was used in describing the realities of post-revolution Chalcidice, on the contrary, the writer was probably an insider of the Greek merchants of London milieu. Due to his personality and literary background, the novelist and entrepreneur Stefanos Xenos is proposed as the unknown author.

Κοντά στις γυναίκες που χωρίστηκαν από τις οικογένειές τους και πουλήθηκαν στα σκλαβοπάζαρα, υπήρξαν και άγνωστες σήμερα περιπτώσεις γυναικών που πήραν τα όπλα και αγωνίστηκαν οι ίδιες, όπως η "Ανθή", κόρη αρματολού, που διέσωσε τη μνήμη της η διάσημη το 19ο αι. συγγραφέας Dora d' Istria.

This paper introduced a short archaeological film entitled "Archaeobotanical Research in Chalkidiki" at the 31st "A.E.M.TH." meeting (To Arhaiologiko Ergo sti Makedonia kai ti Thraki), Thessaloniki, March 8-10, 2018. What did Chalkidiki people eat in the 4th century BCE? What their environment was like? Archaeobotanical research on burnt soil from the bottom of a Pithos in ancient Acanthus attempts to provide answers. The film records the recovery of archaeobotanical material through the flotation technique.

Regarding the "Tower of Ouranoupolis", it proposes audiovisual means to bring new perspectives to the narrative and visual experience of the monument in its broadest cultural landscape.

The Great Fire changed everyday life completely. This paper investigates the experience of common people through the lyrics of a Ladino song, which testify to their despair.

The tense political situation in European Turkey at the time contradicted the poetical exaggerations of the publication.

Published in "Makedonia" newspaper, 23.5.2011.
This paper explores the looting of one of the two Caryatids of the Lesser Propylaea of Eleusis and its transfer to England by the English scholar E. D. Clarke in 1801, through his own writings. The second Caryatid was discovered at the end of the 19th c. during excavations by the Hellenic Archaeological Society. It is not surprising that one of the first concerns of the Greek state was the establishment of the Archaeological Museum in 1829 and the enactment of the archaeological law in 1835 prohibiting the export of cultural heritage.
