Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Venetian Studies "Quid est mare? refugium in periculis." - Alcuin. The origin of Venice is one of the most obscure points in Italian history. Tradition marks the incursion of Attila as the birth-moment of that republic, which was destined to grow in silence, fed from the East, during the Middle Ages; to embark upon the troubled waters of Renaissance politics; to put forth the blossom of a glorious art; to stand as a bulwark for Europe against the Ottoman power; to flame in sinister splendour down the road of corruption, and to be extinguished at last, the oldest state in Europe, by the convulsions of the French Revolution. But long before Attila came with his Huns, before the Goths or the Lombards or the Franks seized on the plains of Northern Italy, those mud islands of the lagoon must have had their population - a race of fishermen, poor, hardy, independent, sea-bred and sea-nurtured.
