The Venetians: a new history : from Marco Polo to Casanova
(Book)
Description
The Republic of Venice was the first great economic, cultural, and naval power of the modern Western world. After winning the struggle for ascendancy in the late 13th century, the Republic enjoyed centuries of unprecedented glory and built a trading empire which at its apogee reached as far afield as China, Syria and West Africa. This golden period only drew to an end with the Republics eventual surrender to Napoleon.
