Join writer and historian Peter Ackroyd for an in-depth tour of the art, architecture, music and theatre of Europe's most mysterious and seductive city. The soft Mediterranean light exposes a city as painted by Canaletto and Guardi, choirs revive the spirituality of Vivaldi's hymns, and Venetians still don disguises to role-play and celebrate at Carnival. Exploring private palazzos, visiting magnificent churches, and wandering down winding alleyways, Ackroyd is the perfect guide for an intimate and unforgettable journey.
