An unreasonably short history of Venice is — surprise — an unreasonably short history of Venice, from the bitter start to the bitter end. In fact, it is so short, it can be read in a couple of hours, on the flight or in the airport. Seven chapters, each of around 3000 words, tell the History of […]
