Venice is a mysterious and romantic city of architecture, sculpture and art – much of it not available for public viewing.

Discover the city’s art that lies behind closed doors in this limited edition leather bound collector’s volume, Venice from Treccani’s Masterpieces of Italian Culture series.

This unique volume takes you inside the art collections of Venice's palaces, public buildings and private altars and brotherhoods.

One of the many purposes for publishing this extraordinary volume is to record art collections moving due to the ongoing relocation of important works from their original homes.

Venice takes the reader on a path that winds its way through five centuries of Venetian art; Byzantine art from to Cerpaccio and Gentile Bellini, through Titian, Giorgione, Jacopo Palma Vecchio and the Tintoretto and culminating in the flowering of eighteenth century Venice with Guradi, Longhi, Canaletto and Giovan Battista Tiepolo.

Venice has been printed on special Scheufelen paper and contains 32 tables printed on 100% cotton, handmade Velata paper from Cartiera Magnani – Italian paper-makers since 1404. The paper on which Napoleon announced his marriage to Maria Luisa d’Austria.

Venice will appeal to art lovers and investors. Limited to only 1000 handmade leather bound copies, don’t miss your opportunity to experience the art of Venice as never before.
