The city of Venice, shrouded in mist as it rises above the lagoon, is home to centuries of history and legend. The beauty of Saint Mark's Square and the secret, winding canals have inspired generations of artists and writers to capture the soul of this sometimes melancholy, yet always lovely city. The surrounding region of Venetia is no less rich in cultural and natural treasures: from Juliet's balcony in Verona to the architectural masterpieces of Palladio; from the ancient university of Padua-- among its students Galileo, Dante and Petrarch-- to the wild grandeur of the Dolomites. The Traveling Gourmet offers the perfect introduction to one of the world's most celebrated cities and its regions, with plenty to delight both the inquisitive tourist and the dedicated food-lover. In addition to the author's lively account of points of local interest, for each town or region visited, Italian chef Toni Vianello presents a selection of mouthwatering recipes. Specialities include dishes such as zuppa di go (a soup made with tiny fish from Venice's lagoon), and radicchio alla griglia (a salad from Treviso where the lettuce owes its quality to the purity of the town's water). Specially commissioned photographs capture the beauty of the sights and the appetizing colors of local products, inviting readers to bring the flavor of Venice into their own home. Venice and its surroundings are a feast for the senses. The ancient splendors of the mythical Serene City, the stunning vistas of the Dolomite mountains, the romance of Verona-- discover their magic in this unique guide to the culture and cuisine of one of Italy's most beautiful regions. Includes fifty recipes.

The inimitable French style comes to life in a beautiful volume that covers not only the rich art, architecture, and history of the world's most popular tourist destination, but brings you into jazz clubs, through public gardens, onto film sets, and around the surrealists' playground of the 1920s. Twenty centuries of revolution, artistic genius, and daily toil have forged Paris as we know it today. The specialist authors, all Parisians by birth or inclination, offer personal insights into all facets of their city: from Paris's turbulent and bloody history and the gritty reality of medieval life on the streets, to the magnificent architectural plans of kings and emperors, daring urbanists, and modern architects. Paris is a celebration of the capital's cultural riches-sculpture, painting, literature, and cinema-and the ambiance and savoir faire of this elegant city. Original photographs capture the essence of Paris. From behind-the-scenes at the Louvre to cobblestone pedestrian markets, and from battles in barricaded streets to the sinuous windings of the Seine, this book takes the reader into the soul of this magical city.
