A beautifully illustrated book exploring a unique take on Venice for curious travellers, lovers of history, art, architecture, and the environmentally sensitive. This book also conveys a pervasive message of deep environmental and climactic concerns and the tragedy of how a Renaissance Empire has been turned into a contemporary amusement park. A Sketch of Venetian History will enchant, educate, and challenge readers. This book offers a unique portrait of Venice and weaves together many diverse subjects--art, ecology, travel, history, all enriched by original line drawings of a unique style found on every page. A Sketch of Venetian History illuminates the Venetian Republic's history through six major eras--from its early ecological formations, through its modest beginnings, to the height and potency of the Grand Republic, to its collapse, and to its modern day challenges posed by environmentalism and massive tourism.
