Description
Thomas F. Madden presents a fresh perspective on one of the world's most captivating cities in this comprehensive history of Venice.
From its breathtaking architecture and art to its enduring legacy, Venice has long been a source of fascination for tourists and armchair travelers alike. Yet, much of what is known about this enigmatic city remains superficial, with few works offering a nuanced exploration of its complex history.
Madden's new study draws on recent research to shed light on the many remarkable achievements of Venetian civilization, placing 1,500 years of Venetian history within the broader context of the Eurasian world. A richly detailed and engaging work, Venice offers a compelling portrait of this extraordinary city.
