Take a breathtaking journey through the ages with this book & DVD Set. Telling the story of one of the world's most famous and beautiful cities. This lavish, landmark series explores how a place with no firm ground, no crops, no indigenous riches and no land army came to snatch success from the jaws of failure time and time again - right up to the present day. Step back in time to early Venice, recreated by the magic of CGI. See wooden houses on stilts replaced by the daring rebuild in stone and brick.

The book features a wealth of stunning images, both of the magnificent set pieces of Venice, such as St Mark's Basilica and the Square, and the bridge of Sighs, and the lesser-known private corners of the city, which hold essential clues to the city's story.
