Download or read book Venetia and Northern Italy written by Cecil Headlam and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venetia and Northern Italy: Being the Story of Venice, Lombardy Emilia The object of this book is to recall familiar scenes to those who have visited them, to suggest them to others, and to be of use upon the spot. It deals in outline with the history, architecture, and art of the towns of Northern Italy which lie within the triangular plain bounded on the north by the Alps, on the west by the Apennines, and on the east by the Adriatic Sea roughly, with the pleasant land that from Milano slopes to Rimini. It embraces the Lombard Lakes and the Lombard Plain; the chief towns that lie in the valley of the Po and its tributaries, and along the great [emilian Way, which the railway follows, from Como and Milan to Bologna, Rimini, and the sea. Following the railway northwards through Ravenna, Ferrara, and Padua to Venice, and omitting the north-eastern portion of the Veneto, it treats of the towns that lie at the foot of the Alps from Vicenza, Verona, and Brescia to Bergamo. In each Italian town there is a distinct personality, an individual charm, the outcome of a history and development so curiously individual and distinct. For throughout the period when, apart from Roman times, the art and architecture of these towns were in making.

Download or read book Venice Reconsidered written by John Jeffries Martin and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-02 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venice Reconsidered offers a dynamic portrait of Venice from the establishment of the Republic at the end of the thirteenth century to its fall to Napoleon in 1797. In contrast to earlier efforts to categorize Venice's politics as strictly republican and its society as rigidly tripartite and hierarchical, the scholars in this volume present a more fluid and complex interpretation of Venetian culture. Drawing on a variety of disciplines—history, art history, and musicology—these essays present innovative variants of the myth of Venice—that nearly inexhaustible repertoire of stories Venetians told about themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Venice No other people has been the victim of more misconceptions than the Venetians. They have been praised for qualities they did not possess and blamed for crimes they did not commit. Roman cers and poets have unwittingly belied them; enemies have traduced; historians have turned partisans for or against them. It seems as if posterity were in league never to understand them.

Download or read book The Navy of Venice Classic Reprint written by Alethea Wiel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Navy of Venice The history of Venice has been told in many ways and by many writers. Poets, novelists, and dramatists have in turn portrayed the romantic charm and tragic fate of the amphibious city. But by some inexplicable oversight her Navy - the expression par excellence of her peculiar character, the instrument by which she both built up her actual fabric and shaped her destiny - has been ignored, or has been treated only in conjunction with those of other Italian seaports. Its individuality and its import ance have thus been obscured. The object of the present work is to endeavour to make good, as far as may be, this deficiency; and to give its due prominence to a subject which should appeal, not only to specialists and experts in naval matters, but to all who feel the fascination of the sea, or who are attracted by the marvellous tale of the rise and fall of Venice. I do not, alas! Belong to the ranks of the experts and specialists: I have not even attempted to adopt their language when I describe the vessels most in use in the Venetian Navy and the exploits in which they gained renown. I have rather striven, as far as in me lies, to set before the general reader the important part that Navy played, for more than a thousand years, in developing the individuality of the Republic, and I have also striven to prove how fatally the wealth and luxury in Venice under mined the simplicity and vigour of her citizens, and how their indifference and apathy as to the maintenance of the Navy was the cause of the downfall of the city. That no work dealing exclusively with the subject has yet been written is a strange and curious fact - that it should be handled for the first time by a woman and a foreigner is stranger still.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venice in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries: A Sketch of Venetian History From the Conquest of Constantinople to the Accession of Michele Steno, A.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Venice May we be permitted a word Of counsel to the returning traveller who has not restricted his move ments by taking the usual circular ticket. If he voyage by the little steamer that plies between the Riva degli Schiavoni and Fusina (whence a steam tram will carry him to the S. Sofia station at Padua, near the Arena Chapel), he will pass along the Old route from the mainland, and enjoy a last and certainly a fond and lingering view Of the wonderful city as the boat slowly steams away from Venice through the canals Of the Zattere and Of Fusina. The train to Padua passes along the road that follows the course Of the Canale di Brenta, affording glimpses Of many an Old patrician palace in picturesque decay. He will touch at Oriago where Jacopo del Cassero, who entreated Dante's prayers in the ante-purgatorio, was overtaken and murdered by the assassins of the tyrant Azzo VIII.

Download or read book Italian Venice written by R. J. B. Bosworth and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this elegant book Richard Bosworth explores Venice—not the glorious Venice of the Venetian Republic, but from the fall of the Republic in 1797 and the Risorgimento up through the present day. Bosworth looks at the glamour and squalor of the belle époque and the dark underbelly of modernization, the two world wars, and the far-reaching oppressions of the fascist regime, through to the “Disneylandification” of Venice and the tourist boom, the worldwide attention of the biennale and film festival, and current threats of subsidence and flooding posed by global warming. He draws out major themes—the increasingly anachronistic but deeply embedded Catholic Church, the two faces of modernization, consumerism versus culture. Bosworth interrogates not just Venice’s history but its meanings, and how the city’s past has been co-opted to suit present and sometimes ulterior aims. Venice, he shows, is a city where its histories as well as its waters ripple on the surface.
