About this title

Synopsis

Venturing beyond St. Mark's Place, the Doges Palace, the Rialto Bridge and all across the still but deadly waters of the lagoon, stories from writers from all corners of the globe evoke the magic, the decay and the beauty and despair of a city that has always fascinated its hordes of visitors. A dizzy waltz of sun and noir between the countless bridges, gondolas and historical landmarks will mean you will never think of Venice in the same way again.
