I anxiously awaited this new book by my favorite Italian Count from Venice & when it arrived I could barely put it down. What fun to travel in his famous ancestor's footsteps in an 18th Century boat all over the European Seas. Makes me want to chart a cruise from Venice to Turkey...of course it will have to be with 1000 other American's on some huge ship......

The photography is fantastic & the photos are a perfect way to enjoy Francesco's Travel Log. Highly recommend this to anyone who is a sailing buff.

Great. Been there.

One of the Absolute Best Travel DVDs

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 24, 2017

Who wouldn't LOVE VENICE if they could get there! Francesco Da Mosto is a Venetian Count whose mother was the daughter of a Sicilian Ducal Family. Francesco is enormously personable and his training as an architect aids in informing his adventures. His English language skills are well-up to any needs. His mother-in-law is the renown actress, Dame Maggie Smith. The BBC found supporting this series to be irresistible! My wife and I, sometimes visitors to Venice, watch and re-watch everything Francesco has done! On this voyage Francesco recapitulates his trading ancestors' voyages to Istanbul. He hires a sailing vessel and signs on as a member of the crew. Sail with him and you will learn a bit about the Adriatic Sea and about Split and Croatia and about that ancient trading route.

Viewers who want to learn serious things about Venice and about the heyday of the Venetian Empire will not want to miss this adventurous man's travels. We saw the videos and I purchased all of his books. For informed travelers or for travelers who might like to become informed, DVD doesn't get better than this series.

This book compliments a fun BBC film series. Francesco writes in a fun and engaging style and his information is complimented by incredible photography. Wonderful.

Great alternative to a missed holiday

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

This coffee-table book is a great alternative to a holiday during these "Covid-no-fly" days. Reading each chapter is a bit like a day trip out on holiday in the Med. Great pictures. Just enough interesting text.

I prefer the book over the BBC programme. I gave it to my 28 year old son when I finished it, and he enjoyed it too. Come back coffee table tomes - all is forgiven?

The magic of the Mediterranean captured in text and images

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 19, 2008

Verified Purchase

The book's characteristics are the elegant, rich in historical and cultural content, insightful but witty and light in touch text and the beautiful photographs of landscape, seascape, buildings, monuments, ruins and works of art which are inextricably interwoven and mutually reinforcing;the impact on the reader is not merely additive but truly synergistic.

We travel with the author from the city of his birth, Venice aboard the Black Swan, a renovated 1899 yawl along trading routes of the Venetian Empire visiting the coastline and islands of the Adriatic, Ionian and Aegean seas with Istanbul (formerly Constantinople)the final destination. Some of these lands were former colonies of 'La Serenissima' and we witness its legacy in the form of medieval fortifications and buildings, the umbiquitous symbol of her strength, the winged lion, and her influences on art, architecture and culture. But the main focus is on the lands of indigenous people and their culture, history, art, buildings and monuments and contribution to the Mediterranean and world civilization.

We visit in succession Istria and Dalmatia and its fortified city port of Dubrovnic, its high walls and bastions commanding the blue sea before moving on to Montenegro and Albania. Then ensues an extensive tour of the island and mainland Greece comprising half of the chapters and size of the book. In the Ionian, we visit Corfu and the Ionian islands to which the Meteora in the mainland are added and offered an awe inspiring view of these precipitous rocks with monasteries perched on their top. The preceding chapter is introduced with possibly the most fascinating photograph in the book featuring the islet of Pontikonissi off Corfu surrounded by the sea with distant mountain ranges presenting Mediterranean at its beautiful best. The chapter on Dephi and Athens is aptly introduced as the cradle of civilization. Athens in particular had not simply a Mediterranean but a truly global impact. In a brief period during the second half of the 5th century BC in an era known as Pericles' golden age a true miracle took place. The Parthenon was built on the Acropolis exemplifying the ideal of classical beauty as an expression of measure and harmony, a similar gratifying evolution took place in the visual arts with the human body captured in movement and acquiring plasticity while this period witnessed also the birth of democracy, philosophy and theatre as an allegory of the human condition and social life. In Peloponnese we visit the theatre of Epidaurus with its impressive acoustics. And then follow visits in the Aegean of the Cyclades, Dodecanese and Crete where the dazzling Minoan civilization evolved in 2000 BC. The voyage ends in Istanbul with a magnificent photograph of the blue mosque and parts of the Topkapi and Dolmabache palaces. An omission in my judgment is the church of Hagia Sophia of which we are presented with only a fine mosaic of the Virgin and Child in the interior of the church.

The book is visually attractive, intellectually stimulating and captures the essence of the Mediterranean.
