I have had my nose glued to this book ever since I opened it. John Berendt’s The City of Falling Angels is a non-fiction view of the people who make Venice what it is. While I have been to Venice and fell in love with it as any person with a love for that elegance would, I didn’t experience what this book offers. It opens the doors to residences that the tourist walks past. I find it to make Venice something personal rather that a destination. It takes you inside the homes of Venetians and the extravagance of the palaces on the Grand Canal. It also focuses on the last fire of the Fenice which I find so interesting because this is something the tour guides, for a reason I cannot imagine, neglected to mention. If you love Venice, this is definitely a read for you!

Ah…Venezia che Magia!…Venice, What a magical atmosphere, History, Art, Beauty…a Dream.
But…Goethe in his Book “Voyage in Italy” said…”L’Italia vista senza la Sicilia non lascia alcuna traccia di sè nel Cuore…la Sicilia è la Chiave di tutto!”
