Venice
Venice (Italian: Venezia) is the capital city of
the Veneto region in northern Italy. As of January
2004,
the city had an estimated population of 271,251, with an estimated 1.6 million living in
the Padua-Venice metropolitan area.
Venice is built on many small islands in a marshy saltwater lagoon, and is famous
for its canals and links to the sea. Additionally for 1,100 years, from 697, until occupied
by Austria in 1797 during the
Napoleonic Wars, Venice was independent republic, The Most Serene Republic of Venice
(Italian: Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia), and was
for many centuries one of the leading maritime powers in the Adriatic and eastern Mediterranean.

Bringing to life Florence's glorious history in first-hand accounts. Reactions to Venice have been, throughout the ages, astonishingly different. Henry James wrote passionately: "You desire to embrace it, to caress it, to possess it..." whereas Mark Twain found St. Mark's "so ugly...Propped on its long row of thick-legged columns, its back knobbed with domes, it seem like a vast, warty bug taking a medieval walk." In this dazzling anthology, James and Twain along with the writings of Byron, Goethe, Wagner, Casanova, Jan Morris, Robert Browning, and Horace Walpole, among many others, are all featured. Ranging from the days of the sixth century, when the early lagoon-dwellers lived "like sea-birds, in huts built on heaps of osiers" to the exquisite city of eighteenth-century revelers and nineteenth-century art lovers-the city's many different guises are revealed as its inhabitants and visitors saw them. This favorite volume from the Traveller's Companion series also contains maps, engravings, and notes on history, art and architecture, and everyday city life. Highly entertaining and informative. |
