Many places are famous in Venice, but the Grand Canal has a special significance, and for this reason I dedicated most of this book to the Canal Grande, with a new photographic viewpoint. The over 170 photos, taken in October 2012, show a delightful diversity of Palazzi, each one with an impressive personality and history. Our distinguished readers will be enchanted to view the splendors of the Grand Canal of Venezia, with detailed descriptions, and thus will certainly understand why Marco Polo, Bellini, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, Tiepolo, Canaletto, Palladio, Monteverdi, Vivaldi and many others - who lived and worked in Venezia - admired so much this unbelievable Canal Grande.
