Steeped in a history of great loves, political intrigues, and fervent religiosity, Venice is one of the most romantic and magnetic cities of the world. This splendidly and profusely illustrated volume, newly translated and completely redesigned, tells the story of Venice through its art - during its period of grandeur as an independent city-state, from the eighth to the eighteenth centuries. Alvise Zorzi reveals the growth of Venice from a small fishing village to a bustling metropolis whose cultural, political and economic dominance extended over the entire Mediterranean world.Venice is a volume fit for the most discriminating coffee table and the most exacting library - a fitting tribute to the Queen of the Adriatic.
