Overview

Living in Venice can mean a lot of things. Each of the different kinds of houses relates to the city in its own way. Living in a ""palazzo"" is hardly the same as living in a loft or in a Byzantine building. Then, the fact that one's home overlooks a lane, a square, a private garden or even the lagoon, means having a different relationship with the outside. There are many different ways of living in this unique city. Twenty five splendid houses, including Casa Balboni, designed by the great architect Carlo Scarpa, are described and illustrated in detail in the 184 pages of this book and its 250 photographs, all in colour. Text in English and Italian. AUTHOR: Lisa Ferro was born and lives in Venice. Some of her photographs are in the permanent collection of the Ecole Nationale de la Photographie d'Arles in France, the Fondazione Italiana per la Fotografia in Turin, the Museum of Photography in Trieste and the National Museum of Photography in Brescia. Chiara Pasti studied architecture at the University of Venice. She then worked in Barcelona with Antoni Solanas, Canovas and Vicente Guallart Furiò. For the past seven years she has concentrated on the expansion of her own architectural firm. 250 colour illustrations
