Summary:
"What is
Venice
worth? To whom does this urban treasure belong? This eloquent book by internationally renowned art historian Salvatore Settis urgently poses these questions, igniting a new debate about the Queen of the Adriatic and cultural patrimony at large. Venetians are increasingly abandoning their hometown—there's now only one resident for every 140 visitors—and
Venice
's fragile fate has become emblematic of the future of historic cities everywhere as it capitulates to tourists and those who profit from them. In If
Venice
Dies, a fiery blend of history and cultural analysis, Settis argues that "hit-and-run" visitors are turning landmark urban settings into shopping malls and theme parks. This is a passionate plea to secure the soul of
Venice
, written with consummate authority, wide-ranging erudition and élan."--From publisher.
