Great Start Point

Mrs. Howard not only describes "the stones" of this city , but illuminate the soul with details of great historic relevance.
Beacuse of her I learned about the Ruskin's classic book on
Venice and the influence of the Arabs on the West.
This is a very good start point to explore in detail
(with books and travel) the architectural treasures of
this dream surounded by water.

This book is the indispensable guide to the history of architecture in Venice, encompassing the city's fascinating variety of buildings from ancient times to the present day. Completely updated and filled with splendid new illustrations, this edition invites all visitors to Venice, armchair travelers, and students of Renaissance art and architecture to a fuller appreciation of the buildings of this uniquely beautiful city.
