‘Venice Pure City’

‘Venice Pure City’ - In this sumptuous vision of Venice, Peter Ackroyd evokes Italy and the city of myth, mystery and beauty, set like a jewel in its glistening lagoon. He leads us through the history of the city, from the first refugees arriving in the fourth century to the rise of a great mercantile state and a trading empire, and the tourist invasions of today.
