Venedig ist ein Fisch, englische Ausgabe

07Built on an inverted forest, paved with a tortoiseshell of boulders, Venice is a maze of tiny alleys, bridges and squares. Tiziano Scarpa wanders through the city, recounting the customs and secrets that only Venetians know.Beware the buckets on the Zattere in springtime: the cuttlefish inside will squirt ink on your shoes; men must be prepared to carry their consorts at high tide, all must be able to make the sign of the devil with their toes and no one should leave without playing the well-curb that sounds like a steel drum in San Silvestro.With everything from practical advice for aspiring Venetian lovers to hints at where to find the best bacaro,"Scarpa"waves the tourist in the right direction and relates the secret language needed to experience the real Venice.So ignore the street signs - why fight the labyrinth? Venice, the fish, is ready to swallow you whole.01Tiziano Scarpa wurde 1963 in Venedig geboren und lebt heute als freier Autor und Journalist in Mailand und Venedig. Seine Bücher wurden in mehrere Sprachen, unter anderem ins Englische, Französische, Spanische und Chinesische, übersetzt.
