Myths of Venice: Rediscovery of the Italian city of Venice (50 min)
A virtual tour of the city conducted by Caterina Brazzi Castracane, historian, author and tour guide

The floating city of Venice, one of the most extraordinary cities in the world was constructed on a swampy area, made up of over a hundred small islands and marshlands in between. A miracle of creative genius, a city built on mud, sand and the slime of a difficult, inhospitable landscape; and yet few cities can claim such a priceless heritage of art and history as Venice. The tour will travel through the city’s history and focus on some of the unique construction methods adopted there.
