A journey lasting through seven nights - but fully enjoyable by day - to discover a different, secret and mysterious Venice, to be found in traces worn by time, but still recognizable and just waiting to be discovered. Seven itineraries through history and myth, in which legends and peculiarities, strange events and amusing anecdotes come to life in the very places in which they occurred: ghosts and demons, doges and courtesans, historical figures and legendary creatures, reappear on the border between reality and imagination to come together in the history of these places. Preferably by night, because as you wander through the silence, you will find it even more exciting to take possession of the city and to discover, behind a window perhaps, or in the shadows of a portico, the protagonists of these tales, still there, ready to tell their stories; or to find forms and messages carved into the stones that bear witness to events gone by. "Mysteries of Venice" offers a new, exciting and suggestive way to visit the city, to discover its most secret and intimate history - borrowed from the lesser-known aspects of official history and from oral tradition - to give the reader/visitor a unique and unforgettable experience. Finally, "Mysteries of Venice" is the first book of its kind to feature QR codes (which may be scanned for access to additional multimedia content), making it possible to relive some of the stories on video, narrated on location by the author himself, merging the most advanced technology with the more ancient practice of storytelling. "Mysteries of Venice" inaugurates a new series of books dedicated to the secret history of one of the most precious cities in Italy.
