Venice. The History of Water and Land

This is a time-travel journey book. In time — because it covers the history of Venice and its statehood from its inception to the present day; in space — since it leads the reader through places that were part of... Venetian territory and where important events for the development of the state took place.
Each chapter begins with a description of some special and significant place, then the focus expands, allowing for an overview of the historical events of a certain period. The book strives to answer the question: what remains in today's world from those distant events?
The author also discusses the modern history of Venice and reflects on the murky future of a city with a great history that has become a tourist Mecca for the entire world.
