The works of architects and painters, and the monuments of the city's prominent families and rulers are captured here in over 450 color photographs. The text provides a history of the urban development of Venice, and promotes an understanding of the fascinating struggles and politics that influenced the current face of the city."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
