Anyone who looks at a map can see that Venice is shaped like a fish. Tiziano Scarpa invites us to explore this wondrous fish with all our senses – that’s why he doesn’t write about Venice itself, but rather about what happens to us in Venice. The chapters are titled: Feet, Legs, Heart, Face, Ears, Mouth, Nose, Eyes, and Skin. We learn why one should get lost in Venice, why the city is an unsuitable backdrop for declarations of love, and why Venice's beauty can be highly hazardous to health. Scarpa casts off much of the educational baggage that weighs on Venice and ensures that we marvel at this peculiar Venetian fish in unexpected ways. For this edition, Tiziano Scarpa has thoroughly revised and expanded his "passeggiata": among other things, with many new opportunities to lose oneself in the heart of the lagoon – and with a few glimpses of the crystal-clear water that has only emerged during the pandemic, which Venice is increasingly confronting.
