Step inside the most breathtaking residences in this dazzling
declaration of love to the beauty and craftsmanship of Venice.
Venice has a thousand reflections of silk, marble, mirror, and light. In
an intimate and informed invitation to the city, Servane Giol guides us
through a maze of canals, secluded campos, and narrow alleyways to
meet some of Venice's most creative residents, opening the door to
private historic palazzi, as well as more recently restored houses and
apartments owned by a new generation of artists and designers drawn to
Venice's radiant beauty, energy, and lifestyle. Whether it is in
interior design, glassmaking, shoemaking, or the restoration of historic
monuments, her circle of talented friends have brought a renewed
vibrancy and elegance to the city, giving visibility to some of Venice's
most elegant traditional crafts and passionately safeguarding them for
future generations.
Organized around the rich materials and textures of the city's densely
woven fabric of history and celebrating the artisan's skill at every
turn, this visually stunning love letter to the secret beauties of
Venice, captured by photographer Mattia Aquila, is both a revelation and
unique reminder to all those who wish to recall the golden iridescent
silence of their first sight of the mythical city that floats between
sky and sea.
