Reviews

There's so much more in this compact but hugely informative little volume, but you'll have to read it for yourself to find out. It's definitely for anyone who's planning a trip to the city anytime soon - or for anyone who already knows Venice but would like to get better acquainted. * Shiny New Books * This is a richly satisfying book for any of Venice's legion of enthusiasts and admirers. * About My Generation *
