A**.

Un punto di vista diverso e particolare sulla storia della Serenissima.

Un libro fondamentale sulla storia di Venezia, offre una prospettiva diversa dal solito sull'espansione della Serenessima. Un vero peccato che il libro non sia tradotto in italiano, anche se la lettura in inglese è relativamente scorrevole. Consigliato!

Extremely informative but a bit tedious

This book is extremely informative. It has a lot of information, even about minute details, sometimes it feels like a information overload. I had to literally crawl through the book and force myself to read it. The language is simple but considering the dry topic, it is good.

Fascinating!

Great book about the rise and decline of the Venetian maritime history, with a backdrop of wider political and economic events in Europe. Highly entertaining and educational!
