For a recent week in this fabulous city we took along various guide books but again this proved the most stimulating and helpful one. Originally published in 1960 but still procurable, it was written after the author spent a year living amongst the Venetians and covers a wide range of subjects: the people of Venice, their way of life, culture (art & architecture), curiosities, environment and things not to miss. Altogether a fascinating read.
