Review: To see Venice, which is all that tourists do, brings a wave of emotions. Da Mosto brings the reality of Venice into sharp focus. Its pleasures and its pain is there for us to experience - but we cannot do this alone. This is why the book is unique and precious; it opens one's eyes to witness Venice as it was and as it is. Go to Venice - then read the book - then go back to Venice and feel, smell, touch, hear and taste our history, his history! Only a true Venetian could work this kind of magic. The book's perspective is the point of this work - pssionate, truthful and as near as one can get to the soul of the place. There may be clichés - but who faced with such a task could give expression in mere words - Da Mosto puts his spirit into the work - and his spirit is 100% Venetian! |
