culture, and art of La Serenissima."
Nicolo Cavalcanti di Verbicaro

"This American author vividly depicts the human drama behind the social,
political, and cultural events of the Venetian Republic when it was the
foremost Mediterranean power of its day. With a rare sensibility he has
produced what should become a precious reference for all who love Venice."
