VENICESCAPES
provides a wide range of original reference materials developed
for use with the guided itineraries. They
include historical maps, architectural descriptions, timelines,
and anthologies which allow individuals to participate more fully
and place the topics discussed into a broader historical context.
Singular keepsakes, these volumes are handcrafted in Venice by local artisans using
traditional techniques and materials including genuine leather,
gold leaf, and special glues prepared with age-old recipes.
Great care has been taken to ensure quality and
to make them living examples of the time-honored art of printing
and bookbinding in Venice.
