Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-22 00:00:00 Wang Ying Although this seems like a fine piece of research, it didn't end up being quite what I was looking for. I became interested in Venetian history after I saw "Love in Venice", an exhibition at the New York Public Library last year, and wanted to dig deeper into the topics explored there, but it proved rather difficult to find any secondary histories or recently published material. This book is more a collection of essays woven together through the same period of time and place through the lens of a traveling Englishman who's surviving account reveals a of history on Renaissance Venice. I read the introduction and most of the first chapter, but found it rather dry and not grabbing me in the way I was looking for. The closest I got was Chapter 6: "A Paradise of Venus", which explored the private lives and property of Venetian courtesans. Overall, probably a good history of the topics it set out to cover, also rather dry and not exactly what I was looking for content-wise.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-08-29 00:00:00 Kelly Adrian Dotta. Patricia Fortini Brown is a professor at the Princeton University, a former presdient of the Renaissance Society of America and offers with this book a view into the lives of the inhabitants of Venice, their houses, way to live, the art of this time, in clear, interesting words. This book shows a good way, to bring the Art and Living in the Venetian Renaissance closer.
