Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This volume takes readers on an aerial adventure above this ever-fascinating city and its surrounding region. A wide variety of panoramas depict the sights that are unique to Venice: the Lagoon with its islands of Burano, Torcello, and Murano; the network of canals branching out from the Grand Canal; the palaces, homes, and world-famous monuments that are all the more compelling when viewed from above. Chapters devoted to the Veneto region take readers to the neighboring cities of Vicenza, Padua, and Treviso as well as more obscure areas where photographs showcase lovely villages and castles, such as Citadel, Asolo, Bassano, and Chioggia. For anyone who wants to experience the magic of Venice and the Veneto, this volume is a souvenir to be cherished.

With much of my family living in Venice this book provides a wonderful touchstone when homesickness attacks. This also gives a terrific overview of the city and a remarkably different sense from the ground level. The beauty and uniqueness of Venice is provided a new opportunity of appreciation as a result of this book.

Beautiful book; a very interesting vantage point from which to view Venice. The photos of the surrounding countryside are excellent as well.
