Hugo Pratt always considered Venice the centre of the world: and in his centre of the world, among corti sconte and ancient monuments, secret gardens and echoes of distant worlds, he strolled with his closest friends.
Whoever was walking alongside him found it hard to resist the charms of the city, because as Pratt described it, Venice sparkled in every detail, in all its beauty and mystery. As part of that group of friends, Guido Fuga and Lele Vianello set out to write about those thirty years of walks, creating seven different itineraries. These are seven “doors” that guide the reader into secret campi and campielli, unforget table views, and the excellent eateries of Venetian cuisine, far from the tourist- beaten paths and deep into the fascinating story of the world’s most beautiful city.
