A bold tribute to the Floating City of Canals on the Adriatic Lagoon where Venice, the extraordinary island city built on 118 small islands separated by 177 canals and connected by 391 bridges in a lagoon of the northern Adriatic Sea, stands as the most improbable, most beautiful, and most unique city in the world, where the Republic of Venice from its founding in the 7th century to its fall to Napoleon in 1797 commanded for a thousand years one of the most powerful maritime empires in history, controlling trade routes between Europe and the Orient and accumulating the extraordinary wealth that funded the construction of the Doge's Palace, the Basilica of San Marco with its Byzantine mosaics and the Horses of Saint Mark looted from Constantinople in 1204, the Grand Canal lined with Palazzo facades reflected in the water, and the Rialto Bridge where Marco Polo's father set out for China, where the Carnival of Venice with its elaborate masks and costumes transforms the city each February into the most theatrical spectacle in Europe, and where Venice's designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site encompassing the entire city and lagoon reflects the global recognition of a place so singular and irreplaceable that its gradual submergence by rising sea levels represents one of humanity's most poignant cultural losses.
