by Danilo Reato

Implicit in the words of Joseph Brodsky-Nobel prizewinner for literature-is a superior form of perception, the fascination of a city like Venice, unrivaled among cities built on water, which brings you face-to-face with a fundamental, though much pondered for humankind, made three-quarters of water, being in Venice is like returning to float in the familiar, comforting surroundings of the womb. And this is the simple secret of this enthralling city for Venice plunges us into our distant origins.

For providing various information of an ancient historial aqua-part and less famous districts of this polis, it's a very interesting work about Venice as a town in whole, peppered with art and historic data.

Personally, one could just wonder at living in the deep paddock, but freedom of choice itself is very much appreciated😜
