Description
Venice: A Remarkable History of the Lagoon City
This comprehensive history of Venice spans over 1,200 years, from its formation in the early Middle Ages to the present day. The city's evolution as a city, city-state, regional power, and overseas empire is revealed in this sweeping account.
From its richly ornamented palaces and dazzling sites like Piazza San Marco, to its complex history of transformation and adaptation, Venice's story is one of resilience and survival. This book explores the lives of its inhabitants, including women and men from all walks of life, and the ways in which the city has responded to environmental vulnerability, industrialization, and mass tourism.
