An extraordinarily ecclectic selection of poetry evoked by 'La Serenissima', including poetry from Longfellow, Wordsworth, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Ezra Pound, Oscar Wilde, Pushkin, Rilke, Brodsky, Dante and Derek Walcott. With a scintillating introduction by John Julius Norwich, who as Chairman of the organisation Venice in Peril has done much to help preserve the fabric of the fragile city.
