Dial Parrott: The Genius of Venice
The Genius of Venice: Piazza San Marco and the Making of the Republic
An Evening with Author Dial Parrott
What are your memories of Venice? Are you planning a trip to Venice and want to learn more about the famed city? Join Dial Parrot for an illustrated talk about his new book, The Genius of Venice: Piazza San Marco and the Making of the Republic. Of Venice’s many majestic spaces, none is as evocative and significant as the Piazza San Marco and The Genius of Venice celebrates the city’s oldest and most important architectural site. From their lagoon, the bold and calculating Venetians forged a city that stands today not merely as an attraction for millions, but as a testament to architectural genius: the epitome of what we now call New Urbanism and a shining example of Western communal art. An ideal volume for lovers of Venice and architecture aficionados, the book combines an in-depth history of this singular city with more than 100 color photographs and maps.
