Venice century by century Distefano Giovanni - Supernova, 2023 - Storia Di Venezia
Venice century by century briefly tells the story of the Serenissima Republic, starting from a suggestive legend that begins its history on 25 March 421. Each century is preceded by an archaeological summary and from there develops the account of the human and social history of a people who, in the heart of the lagoon, build a city that develops politically, remains poised between East and West and finally imposes itself as an international power founding first a Stato da mar or Maritime State (1204) and then, during the 15th century, a Stato da Tera or Mainland State. Envied and feared, Venice was fought over both by the Turks, who wanted to limit its dominion over the seas, and the European powers, who joined forces against it. Venice was never subdued by anyone, but on 12 May 1797 the last Doge had to yield to Napoleon's arrogance and abdicate in favour of the democratic Municipalità Provvisoria. A new history began: Venice was ruled by the French and the Austrians (1798-1866), and later became Italian (1866). Then the water, which turned from "friend" to "enemy" (1966 and 2019), again became the new battlefield for this extraordinary city that has no equal in the world.
Venice esoteric routes. Along calli, churches and palaces De Meth Lucio - Supernova, 2024 - Storia Di Venezia
Romanzo o guida? Romanzo, con personaggi e vicende di epoche diverse che si ritrovano, al di là del processo storico e della geografia, a riflettere, discutere e condividere alcune tematiche senza tempo. Guida, che riscopre, in modo originale e divertente, attraverso le testimonianze dell'arte, una Venezia poco conosciuta ai più. Un filo conduttore, velatamente misterioso, lega il romanzo alla guida: una strategia efficace per comprendere più a fondo i linguaggi esoterici rilevabili attraverso un'attenta osservazione delle opere di celebri artisti, sia pittori sia architetti. Argomenti delle dottrine occulte trattati con la curiosità dello studioso che cerca di capire. Qualcosa di lontano, di incomprensibile, di astruso dalla propria realtà quotidiana. Come tanti altri cittadini, non inseriti nelle specifiche organizzazioni, l'autore tenta di percepire, nei variegati concetti religiosi e filosofici, segreti e saperi riservati a una limitata cerchia della società, sia antica sia contemporanea. A novel or a guidebook? A novel with characters and events from different periods who find themselves, beyond the historical and geography, reflecting, discussing, and sharing some timeless themes. A guidebook that rediscovers, in an original and amusing way, a Venice little known to most, through the testimonies of art. The novel and the guidebook are linked by a mysterious thread: an effective strategy for a deeper understanding of the esoteric languages which can be discovered through a careful observation of the works of famous artists, both painters and architects. Topics of occult doctrines, treated with the curiosity of the scholar seeking to understand. Something far away, incomprehensible, abstruse from one's own everyday reality. Like so many citizens, not included in specific organizations, the author tries to perceive, in the various religious and philosophical concepts, secrets and knowledge reserved for a limited circle of society, both ancient and contemporary.
