Opis produktu

In this elegant book Richard Bosworth explores Venice not the glorious Venice of the Venetian Republic but from the fall of the Republic in 1797 and the Risorgimento up through the present day. Bosworth looks at the glamour and squalour of the belle epoque and the dark underbelly of modernization the two world wars and the farreaching oppressions of the fascist regime through to the Disneylandification of Venice and the tourist boom the worldwide attention of the biennale and film festival and current threats of subsidence and flooding posed by global warming. He draws out major themes: the increasingly anachronistic but deeply embedded Catholic Church and the two faces of modernization consumerism versus culture. Bosworth interrogates not just Venices history but its meanings and how the citys past has been coopted to suit present and sometimes ulterior aims. Venice he shows is a city where its histories as well as its waters ripple on the surface.Bosworth brings a fresh eye to Venices history telling us lots that we didnt know already and providing a masterly overview allied with numerous fascinating details. The account is provocative at times painting a picture of a city which at the same time seems unaffected by history but that was also profoundly altered by the twentieth and twentyfirst centuries and the forces which have marked the last 150 years or so of this remarkable but troubled place John Foot author of Modern Italy
