“Venice: Stories on Water” is not just a book about the city, but an artist’s diary capturing the essence of the lagoon. Giancarlo De Petris guides the reader through streets, squares, and canals, skillfully using techniques such as watercolor and ink to bring Venetian colors and atmospheres to life.
The unique feature of this volume lies in its texts: descriptions and captions are entirely handwritten by the author, preserving the original style across all translations. A collectible volume, personalized with the Libreria Acqua Alta logo, perfect for those seeking an artistic and deeply human memory of Venice. The book was selected for the show “Rendez-vous du Carnet de Voyage of Clermont-Ferrand” in France, the world’s leading event dedicated to travel diaries.
