More Description

Though the city of Venice had humble beginnings in a marshy lagoon, over time the city has become an enchanting paradise like none other in the world. The buildings, streets and canals are works of art themselves. At times one can be lost in a crowd of people, but oftentimes if one ventures from the tourist areas one can find themselves alone in a seemingly deserted world. This book takes you on a journey through both of those areas - the congested Grand Canal to the quiet canalettos and back streets of Venice where time seems to stand still. The reader is immersed in a collection of photographs taken over the course of two days, both beginning and ending with the unique perspective of entering and exiting this great city by water. The book, formatted as a scrapbook, has a very intimate feel and leaves the reader with the longing to visit this multi-island city. Due Belli Autrici Books is the creation of mother-daughter writing and photography team, Judith and Melissa Jurgensen.
