This elegant photographic guide offers a glimpse of the delights of Venice: stealing through the back waterways of the city; cavorting at the Carnival in a specially commissioned mask; shopping for sumptuous fabrics or glassware at the secret ateliers of master craftsmen; or sipping a cocktail at the infamous Harry's Bar.
The glorious photography is accompanied by a narrative on the city that offers precious nuggets of local knowledge, which often can't be found in other city books: that special place to eat; where to find the best and most exclusive shopping and entertainment; or where to find special courses on painting or cooking.
Special features include quotes from artists and writers who are associated with the city. A useful directory of addresses is also provided. Revealing both the classic and the contemporary side of the city, and illustrated to capture the nostalgia of times past, this book offers the discerning traveller an enduring memento or may well inspire a first visit.
An exclusive memento celebrating the unique spirit of place of this special city.
