{"product_id":"venezia","title":"Venezia","description":"This love letter in photographs to the unique beauty and mystery of Venice is an evocative compilation of vintage photographs, prints, and ephemera. It is a tactile ode to the sensuality of the city, filled to the brim with all manner of Venetian memorabilia: 19th century photographs, engravings, hand-coloured magic lantern slides, vintage postcards, old luggage labels, keys from long-lost luxury hotels, golden ducats from the 18th century, Carnival ball invitations. With gilt-edged pages and antique Venetian lettering, it is not a travel or walking guide, but an atmospheric pilgrimage that pays homage to this ever-fascinating city. Serge Simonart’s engaging commentary on Venetian history and culture introduces each subject with affection and insight.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\"Every day, a nervous traveller visiting the City of Doges for the first time asks the best way to get to their hotel. ‘The shortest or the most beautiful?’, I once heard the concierge at Hotel Des Bains ask. The tourist who opted for the most beautiful route is still wandering around the city. This is a unique photobook in which to wander and lose oneself.”\u003c\/i\u003e - Serge Simonart\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hannibal Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54232343937368,"sku":"9789463887502","price":47.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9789463887502_084ab5b4-92e9-4d39-bf39-427f77ac8b4b.jpg?v=1777189524","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/venezia","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
