An Inspired Anthology and Travel Resource.
Immerse Yourself in the Culture, Food and History of Venice, the Veneto, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
Unlike any other travel guide, this book immerses you in a place, culture, and people other than your own, while offering a wealth of the useful information every traveller needs.
The literary first part of the book is filled with previously published essays and articles written by esteemed writers and journalists. Jan Morris, Francine Prose, Fred Plotkin, Susan Herrmann Loomis, and many others share seductive insights into the unique landscapes and cultural treasures of this northeastern corner of Italy, including the architectural wonders of Venice, the beautiful small towns of Veneto, and the less-travelled routes through Friuli-Venezia Giulia, where food and wine are celebrated every day.
The second part of the guide is a handy reference section full of useful information on everything from understanding a menu and converting currency to finding local campgrounds and bike rentals. A particularly wonderful feature of the guide is the selective bibliography that will keep you happily reading about where you've been (or would still love to go) for ages!
