Beschreibung
'Every year, hundreds of books on the city are published, but none resembles this one' - Independent
'This gem of a book offers practical advice but in a distinctly lyrical tone. If you are lucky enough to be going there, take Venice is a Fish and you will want for nothing' - Sunday Telegraph
Built on an inverted forest, paved with a tortoiseshell of boulders, Venice is a maze of tiny alleys, bridges and squares. Tiziano Scarpa wanders through the city, recounting the customs and secrets that only Venetians know. With everything from practical advice for aspiring Venetian lovers to hints at where to find the best bacaro, Scarpa waves the tourist in the right direction and, without naming a single restaurant, hotel or bar, relates the secret language needed to experience the real Venice.
So ignore the street signs - why fight the labyrinth? Venice, the fish, is ready to swallow you whole.

This gem of a book offers practical advice but in a distinctly lyrical tone. If you are lucky enough to be going there, take <i>Venice is a Fish</i> and you will want for nothing
Interspersed with nostalgia is practical advice for tourists... elements that merge seamlessly in Scarpa's alluring narrative. Be warned: you'
