Books About Venice

City of Fortune: How Venice Ruled the Seas by Roger Crowley.

City of Fortune traces the full arc of the Venetian imperial saga, from the ill-fated Fourth Crusade, to the Ottoman-Venetian War of 1499–1503, which sees the Ottoman Turks supplant the Venetians as the preeminent naval power in the Mediterranean. In between are three centuries of Venetian maritime dominance, during which a tiny city of “lagoon dwellers” grow into the richest place on earth.
