An unconventional way to discover Venice

It is not true that everything has already been written. Take Venice has nothing more to say original on a city described by hundreds of poets, novelists and travelers from around the world?

Yet Tiziano Scarpa, author of this guide very uncommon, well documented, very much in love seems to be very successful. Making its way into Venice the author neglects the usual list of routes and landmarks. Companion body, spiritual guide, tells the physical and emotional experiences that can be done only in the lagoon city, in nine chapters that hearken to the organs of the body and the soul: the feet, the legs, the heart, the hands, the face , ears, mouth, nose, eyes.

By reading it you will experience the ups and downs sensitive and sentimental that live only here because Venice, even before planning a fault, it is a new way of being in the world is the existence reinvented from top to bottom, it is a laborious and delicate whim of ‘be.

Scarpa‘s Venice also has a fascinating tail: an appendix which proposes the best of the literature on Serenissima and a small anthology of venetians texts, including a report translated for the first time in Italian by Guy de Maupassant, and a portrait the city designed by the Brazilian writer Diogo Mainardi.
