Venice by Martin Gayford
A lively, intimate portrait of Venice that mixes travel writing and art-historical insight, leading the reader through its canals, squares, churches and islands while reading paintings and architecture by the great Venetian masters; through close-looking, anecdote and personal reflection the book evokes the city’s peculiar light, sense of decay and splendor, its layers of history and everyday life, and considers how memory, tourism and preservation shape Venice’s present character and future.
