Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Secret Venice Lagoon: 150 secret places. The remains of the bell tower in St. Mark's Square, which collapsed in 1902; a museum in the waiting room of a dental practice that is still in use; two hidden holes through which cameramen projected films at the first Mostra in 1932; old English cannons that serve as bollards; one of the few physical remains of the famous Battle of Lepanto; a house on San Clemente modelled on the one where the Virgin Mary lived in Nazareth; a little-known masterpiece of industrial archaeology; the last of the protective walls built around 1500 to divert the sand currents; a monument commemorating the day Pellestrina almost disappeared; the miracle of the moving eyes in a painting of the Virgin Mary; a lagoon beach that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site... Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, the Venetian lagoon hides treasures that it only reveals to those who venture off the beaten tourist track. An indispensable travel guide for anyone who thought they knew the lagoon well or who wants to discover the hidden side of the Venice lagoon.
