The vast labyrinth of waterways called Venice contains an immense, dazzling artistic and cultural legacy. For anyone willing to explore the city with love, the city reveals another side: less obvious, more secret, but truly one of a kind.
Anyone daring enough to leave the majestic heritage of the “traditional” arts to organised tours in favour of searching for a world’s memory and meaning in its more modest, everyday expressions might discover the mysterious poetry of the metal handles and knockers adorning the antique doors. Collected in this volume, these hidden gems introduce readers to a “lesser-known” Venice that is still rich in traditions, and that only visitors who wander through the city in search of new adventures will discover.
