peak books about venezia?
Fiction or non-fiction?John Julius Norwich's History of Venice is great
>>25227363Let's say, the ones that best capture the venetian spirit.
>>25227360The Merchant of VeniceDeath in Venice
>>25227360Aria.
>>25227360The current standard for academic history about it here in Italy is Venezia Inventata by G. Ortalli, don't know if they translated it. I don't know about novels but check out Anima Persa with Vittorio Gassman, that's pretty kino.
>>25227360Rolfe, The Desire and Pursuit of the WholeMorand, VenicesBrodsky, Watermark
>>25227593>MorandCharlatan>Venice Slop not worth reading
>>25227585What the fuck kind of theatrical poster is this? Also odd that you would mention that literally who as a selling point when this movie starred Catherine Deneuve…
>>25227643Gassman isn't a literal who. He was in the original Scent of a Woman, Last Time I saw Paris w Liz Taylor and a ton of other kinos generally playing Latin lover types.
The Stress of Her Regard
Henry James, The Aspern Papers

>>25227939the movie is the biggest homobait of all time so i'm not going to read that
>>25229236Ripley is an asexual, high-fuctioning schizoid in the book, his homoerotic interests are purely aesthetically-driven
>>25227360is that an African on the bridge? kek
>>25229279maybe a s*cilian
>>25229279Is that a looting bag in his hand?
>>25229279>>25229311
>>25229236jude law was so hot tho
>>25227939I read this. It was okay>>25227967I read this. I liked his childhood and his adult years until he escapes the Leeds prison in Venice. When it becomes him travelling from city to city in Europe and coming up with scams and gimmicks is when it gets boring and repetitive.
