Venice: The Most Triumphant City, by George Bull (Folio Society, Used)

By (author): George Bull.

An illustrated history and portrait of Venice by George Bull, the British writer and translator best known for his Penguin Classics translations of Machiavelli's The Prince, Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier and Vasari's Lives of the Artists. He brings that deep knowledge of Renaissance Italy to the city the Venetians themselves called the most triumphant.
