Paperback. Zustand: Good. 480 pages. Cover worn.INTRODUCTION Nobody arrives in Venice and sees the city for the first time. Depicted and described so often that its image has become part of the European collective consciousness, Venice can initially create the slightly anticlimactic feeling that everything looks exactly as it should. The water-lapped palaces al ong the Canal Grande are just as the brochure photographs made them out to be, P iazza San Marco does indeed look as perfect as a film set, and the panorama acro ss the water from the Palazzo Ducale is precisely as Canaletto painted it.

Very few parts o f the hundred or so islets that compose the historic centre are not built up, an d very few of its closely knit streets bear no sign of the cityâÃ's long lineage. Even in the most insignificant alleyway you might find fragments of a medieval building embedded in the wall of a house like fossil remains lodged in a cliff face. The melancholic air of the place is in part a product of the dis crepancy between the grandeur of its history and what the city has become. In th.…
