Francesco's Venice is the extraordinary story of the life of an intriguing city told by a ... more
descendant of an old and distinguished Venetian family. Francesco da Mosto's ancestral history is inextricably intertwined with that of this amphibious city. Fiercely proud and protective of the rich cultural and architechtural heritage of his birthplace Francesco gives us a unique insight into the inner workings of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. He explores Venice's remarkable history from the fifth century when settlers retreated to the safety of the lagoon and began to create their homes on tiny islands through its glorious years as a successful maritime nation adept at trade exploration diplomacy and protecting its independence to the fragile city of the twenty-first century. Venice's history is a tale of warfare and conspiracies of artistic excellence and ingenuity of the battle of wills and of ideas and of strength in the face of disaster and Francesco brings to life the places events and people that have sculpted this living theatre through the ages.These include a colourful array of his own ancestors such as the six da Mostos who were involved in the rise and fall of the ambitious and corrupt Doge Falier and the young Alvise da Mosto a courageous and deterrmined explorer of the fifteenth century. Beautifully illustrated with stunning images by John Parker of both the magnificent symbols of the city including St Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace and the more secluded corners Francesco's Venice celebrates the mesmerizing beauty and surprising strength of this unique city.
