The book by the Venetian Alberto Toso Fei is a guide to the Venice of myths and secrets. It consists of seven routes through all six historical districts-sestiere of Venice, with street names and detailed maps. However, the "core" on which the walks are strung is not the history of architectural monuments and painting styles, as in ordinary guidebooks, but urban legends. But since almost all of these legends feature historical figures, and ghosts appear in historical places, the author - always to the point - also provides "ordinary" educational information: he talks about the history of Venice and describes its most famous architectural monuments. Alberto Toso Fei (b. 1966) comes from a family of hereditary glassblowers, and before the publication of this book he was known as an expert and enthusiast in the history of Murano glass. This is his first book that went beyond his direct specialty, and many others followed.
