This book showcases a collection of vibrant color photographs that capture religious temples from every sestiere of Venice, as well as the picturesque smaller towns nestled within the Venetian lagoon. Starting in every neighborhood of the city, and navigating the enchanting Venetian lagoon—from Murano to Burano and Torcello, from Pellestrina to Chioggia, and even venturing deep into the northern lagoon to areas like Lio Piccolo, Mesole, and beyond—Merizalde meticulously sought out and documented the respective churches, regardless of their current state: whether they remained in active service, were deconsecrated, or repurposed for other purposes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book adopts a layout that prioritizes the façade, relying on subtle repetition for artistic sustenance and balance. A poignant essay by Marina Gasparini Lagrange complements the visual narrative, seamlessly blending her personal experiences as a former resident with a comprehensive historical perspective. 100 Churches of Venice and the Lagoon offers a profound exploration of Venetian culture and history, captivating readers with its captivating portrayal of these sacred spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 768g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 237 x 238 x 17 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9788862087490\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alejandro Merizalde","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105210495226,"sku":"9788862087490","price":35.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/ad0a61bfb3d24e9fb6f88133e6fdeaf3.jpg?v=1633572879","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/100-churches-of-venice-and-the-lagoon","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
