Book Synopsis Venice Abandoned; Is This the Place Again? by : Vinicio Tassani
Download or read book Venice Abandoned; Is This the Place Again? written by Vinicio Tassani. This book was released on 2020-10-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venice today looks like another Venice: a town affected by unknown "presence".It looks so different... the railway station without passengers, deserted "calli" (streets), gondolas stopped at berths, all the "campo" (small square) with no people walking, San Marco square completely empty, no pigeons flying around. None in front of Bridge of Sighs; nobody in Via XXII Marzo, the luxury brand street in Venice; the Caffè Florian, since 1720, never closed one day, not even between the two World Wars, even during the tides, the high water phenomena, the Aqua Granda, never. Now it closes. Rialto's bridge with no people on it's top, shaking their smartphone trying to take the best shot; the famous Fish and Vegetable Market with no desks open. There is a strange and uncomfortable "sound of silence"...

Book Synopsis Ruskin's Venice by : Sarah Quill
Download or read book Ruskin's Venice written by Sarah Quill. This book was released on 2017. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This title was first published in 2000: John Ruskin's three-volume "The Stones of Venice" (1851-3) remains massively influential in art and architecture. To mark the centenary of Ruskin's death, this illustrated guide links Ruskin's descriptions of individual buildings with a photograph of the architecture and sculpture as it is today. Much of Ruskin's prose is reproduced, together with many of his drawings and watercolours and a number of 19th-century engravings. Sarah Quill's photographs identify the details described by Ruskin and show the extent to which the city's architecture has survived, or changed, since first publication of "The Stones of Venice". The opening chapter provides an introduction to Ruskin's involvment with Venice and to the periods and styles of Venetian architecture."--Provided by publisher.
