"My Venice – 2" is an alternative guidebook where the main focus is not on museum rarities and architectural wonders, but on the vibrant life of the city of bridges and canals. Here, the focus is on incidents, encounters, and...
emotions. Andrei Bilzho has been living intermittently in Venice for over fifteen years, and this book is his account of everyday interactions with the city and its inhabitants. Food and the rituals surrounding it are extremely important to Italians, so it’s not surprising that each chapter is written at a table in one of Venice's restaurants or cafes. It is here that the colorful urban everyday life is concentrated, with characters such as waiters, passersby and tourists, students and sailors... Starting the narrative with some insignificant detail, the author draws us further into the streets, becoming a kind of guide to their most intimate corners. The years that have passed since the first edition and the accompanying changes have prompted the writer to make some additions and notes – hence this is now "My Venice – 2." Andrei Bilzho is, by his first profession, a psychiatrist, a candidate of medical sciences, an artist, a caricaturist, and an essayist.
