This book presents a collection of some of the world's most sumptuous and luxurious interiors. Although classicism is a recurring theme throughout the book, often heavily featuring rich colours, the liberal use of gold and gilt, marble details and trompe l'oeil effects, Toni Facella Sensi also often reflects the geographical location of a house in his designs. His own homes in Rome, Orvieto and Hammamet are included, as well as many decorated for clients around the world.

This is a stunning photographic survey of both right and left banks of the famous canal that winds its way through Venice, past palaces, churches and museums that overlook the water. All are illustrated with captions stating the name, date of construction and architect. What makes this book so unique is that the pages are hand-glued together in an 'accordion-shape' so that the reader can turn each page, once it's slid out of its clear slipcase, one after another as with a normal book - or you can unfold the whole 14 yards of this title and see the Grand Canal in its astonishing entirety. In viewing this book from the first page to the last, the reader is presented with the right bank of the canal. Turning the book upside down and looking from the last page to the first provides a look at the left bank. This creative book is perfect for those who have an admiration for Venice and simply beautiful photography.

Venice Botteghe is dedicated to those who already know the Venice of museums and carnivals, but who wish to deepen their knowledge through the products of those who continue today, skillfully and competently, to paint, assemble, hone, fuse, sew, knead, cook, engrave, or perhaps just sell, in Venice. Readers will find shops and workshops that have survived as if by magic, one or two ever-popular classics and lots of exciting new ventures. The 160 pages contain 600 illustrations and 300 addresses where shoppers can browse and purchase everything from pearls to lamps and gondolas, as well as cakes, cloaks, soft-shell crabs and door knockers. It is a tour of sounds, fragrances and everything else the city has to offer. Each entry is accompanied by a commentary and illustrations. There are also twelve pages of detailed maps to guide the self-assured shopper around the city's most labyrinthine corners.

At a time of particular interest in Andrea Palladio's life and works, this book illustrates in detail the great cycle of his Venetian projects and completed masterpieces. The artistic career of one the most influential architects of the Western world is presented in relation to the last thirty years of his life, which were concentrated in large measure on his activity in the city of the Lagoon. His efforts to be accepted by the Venetian committenza, his initial defeats, the decisive friendship with the illustrious Barbaro brothers and, finally, the projects that culminated with the luminous monastic complex of San Giorgio Maggiore and the imposing church of the Redentore, are assessed not only as majestic expressions of Palladio's classical language; but also as architectural creations that needed to conform with the regulations imposed by the Counter-Reformation. This book was completed by the analysis of the Palladian opus I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura as well as a survey of major religious w

The glass making world of Murano is currently experiencing an ongoing review between the old and the new, between loyalty of traditional values and an eagerness to innovate. The interest of this debate is that it is among the classic glassmakers, who work in an atmosphere similar to that of a medieval workshop, and contemporary artists who live entirely in a modern day society. The collaboration of the two has contributed to making Murano an extraordinary place that is well worth visiting, investigating and photographing.

Eating out in Venice can be a traumatic affair especially for your wallet yet the local food has much to offer the inquiring diner. That's why this compact guide to the eateries of the city is so useful. Most of the eateries in the guide offer one or both of two distinct eating formats. Some serve traditional Italian sit-down meals of anti-pasto, primo, secondo and dolce (starter, pasta, meat or fish and dessert) while others concentrate on the typically Venetian cicheto, or snack, to be consumed standing at the bar with a glass of wine, known as an ombra. This guide will tell you where to find tasty traditional and innovative cicheti. To keep explanations in the eatery profiles to a minimum, Venetian and Italian terms are explained in the glossary. The great virtue of this guide is that it tells you how much you can expect to pay in each of the restaurants featured. It is a given that everything in Venice costs more than elsewhere in Italy but sometimes the disparity can ruin the visitor's dig
