Venetian Mysteries: History, Myths, Legends, Ghosts, Riddles, and Curiosities in Seven Nightly Walks
29.99 €
Venetian Alberto Tozo Fei's book is a guide to the Venice of myths and mysteries. It consists of seven itineraries through all six of Venice's historic neighborhoods, complete with streets and detailed maps. However, the "core" on which the walks are strung is not the history of architectural monuments and painting styles, as in conventional guidebooks, but urban legends. But since almost all of these legends involve historical characters and ghosts appear in historical places, the author - always to the point - also provides the "usual" informative information: he tells about the history of Venice and describes its most famous architectural monuments.
Alberto Toso Fei (b. 1966) comes from a family of hereditary glassblowers, and before this book he was known as an expert and enthusiast of the history of Murano glass. This is his first book outside his direct specialty, and many others have followed.
