Description

Salvatore Settis's If Venice Dies is a passionate plea to secure the future of one of the world's most iconic cities. As the city struggles with the consequences of mass tourism, Settis argues that landmark urban settings are being transformed into shopping malls and theme parks.

The author, an internationally renowned art historian, examines the impact of "hit-and-run" visitors on historic cities everywhere. He warns that Western civilization's prime achievements face impending ruin from global cultural homogenization and mass tourism.

This book is a timely and authoritative analysis of the future of our cultural heritage, written with consummate authority and wide-ranging erudition.
