Venice by Jonathan Keates
The author leads the reader along a sequence of Venetian trails, including familiar landmarks like the great Tintoretto-hung Scuola di San Rocco or the mosaics of Torcello, as well as the more secret haunts of ghosts, mysteries, scandals and superstitions. Venice, under his guidance, is revealed as a place of discovery, a living city at the heart of an open-air museum.
