Venice is a fish
4.99 €
Venice, praised by poets, is one of the most visited and famous cities in the world. Tiziano Scarpa offers to look at it from a new perspective.
Venice is a fish. If you look closely at its contours on a geographical map, it resembles a giant flounder spread out on the bottom of a lagoon, or a dorado sliding along a wave.
Venice is a turtle. Its stone shell is made of gray rubble, which the streets are paved with.
Venice is a place where you need to throw away the map and get lost.
Scarpa reveals the city's secrets known only to Venetians, the original language of Venice, necessary to get to know the city better. The author encourages the reader to use all the senses: to touch, hear, see, feel the city, the mind must give way to the senses, namely the heart, which in Venice you certainly can't command.
