John Kent's Venice by John Kent

This is an illustrated atlas of Venice, annotated with historical detail and diverting anecdote. Four hundred and seventy buildings on the Grand Canal and elsewhere are identified and illustrated - Ca' Tron, for example, once the home of Filippo Tron, who was so fat that in 1501, he burst, or Ca' Mocenigo, from whose balcony a lady friend of Byron threw herself into the canal. Including a selection of hotels and restaurants in Venice as well as a calendar of events, the book also gives advice on what to do in an emergency.
