The republic of Venice founded in 697 became a mighty maritime and commercial force until in 1797 it surrendered to Napoleon.

Throughout its long and spectacular history it continued to produce great art and a bewildering display of palatial canal and ecclesiastical architecture.

This guide book is a lavish pictorial and historic celebration of the city's great artists, its magnificent and palatial architecture as well as its wonderful backstreets and canals with a host of shops producing and selling the remarkable masks which are an integral part of the city's amazing culture and colourful history.
