Venetian Dreaming – Finding a Foothold in an Enchanted City –

“In this intelligent and tender memoir, art and architecture are a constant thread as the author weaves the fascinating story of the family Dona, in whose palace she finds lodgings, with the history of the city.
The passage of time is beautifully marked, reflected in the panorama of special events, as we follow Weideger on her explorations through the Ghetto, the expatriate community and the lives of the locals from noblemen to boatmen.
The result is a wry and illuminating account of the once grand heritage and now imperilled future of Venice.”
