Venice... A remarkable city of canals and bridges with an equally remarkable history, located in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon. Many great figures of the arts - writers, poets, composers, opera singers, and artists - praised the Serenissima and were inspired by its magnificent palaces and breathtaking landscapes. And our compatriots were no exception.
The author of the book, Ekaterina Kolosova (@katya_tesoro), has been living in Italy since 2014 and has a deep love for the city on water. Her first book is dedicated to it - "Bella Venice". For her second work, Ekaterina decided to focus on the theme of Russian people and their stories in the Venetian Lagoon.
Chekhov, Stravinsky, Vrubel, Tchaikovsky, Brodsky - all these and many other names will come to life on the pages of the book. You will learn incredible facts that you may not have heard before. And you will also visit many iconic places - St. Mark's Square, La Fenice Theater, San Michele Cemetery, Ca d'Oro Palace, Lido Island...
"It may seem that enough has already been written about Russians in Venice. However, Ekaterina Kolosova's book will present the reader with new pages of the Russian Venetian history. It includes not only unknown or long-forgotten plots and names, but also a new approach - through meticulous research and the experienced and felt eyewitness account of the Miracle of the Lagoon." - Mikhail Talalay, Russian historian, writer, researcher of the Russian diaspora, and scientific editor of the book.
