The book intends to be a short guide to Venice for lovers of arts, arriving here from distant places and with different cultural backgrounds but all with the same desire to better understand the unique character of this city. We offer to the reader a rich choice of images of some of the most relevant Venetian buildings, sculptures, and paintings, accompanied by brief historical remarks. We avoided describing them in an academic way. We are confident that, once arrived to the last page of this short guide, the readers will have acquired sufficient autonomy to be able to judge by themselves what they like best among the many artistic aspects of this special city.
