Serenissima, or "peaceful", "pearl of the Adriatic", the most romantic corner of Europe - all this is about the beautiful Venice, which, according to legend, arose from the sea foam in 421. Majestic architecture, a unique atmosphere of freedom and lightness, lively labyrinths of streets - an ensemble that must be seen, heard, and felt. Instead of roads, here are canals, and instead of cars - boats and motorboats. "There are no stains on the water" - says the local proverb. Venice is so perfect that there are no stains… The series "City History at Your Fingertips" is dedicated to the most famous cities in the world. On the pages of each book are collected the most important and unexpected facts about the history, culture, and everyday life of the citizens in different eras, about music that has resonated through the centuries.
