Venice and its surroundings are a feast for the senses.
The ancient splendors of the mythical Serene City, the
stunning vistas of the Dolomite mountains, the romance of
Verona - discover their magic in this unique guide to the
culture and cuisine of one of Italy's most beautiful regions.
The city of Venice, shrouded in mist as it rises
above the lagoon, is home to centuries of history
and legend. The beauty of Saint Mark's Square
and the secret, winding canals have inspired generations
of artists and writers to capture the soul of
this sometimes melancholy, yet always lovely city.
The surrounding region of Venetia is no less
rich in cultural and natural treasures : from Juliet's
balcony in Verona to the architectural masterpieces
of Palladio ; from the ancient university of Padua -
among its students Galileo, Dante and Petrarch -
to the wild grandeur of the Dolomites.
The Traveling Gourmet offers the perfect introduction
to one of the world's most celebrated cities
and its regions, with plenty to delight both the
inquisitive tourist and the dedicated food-lover. In
addition to the author's lively account of points of
local interest, for each town or region visited.
Italian chef Toni Vianello presents a selection of
mouthwatering recipes. Specialties include dishes
such as zuppa digo (a soup made with tiny fish from
Venice's lagoon), and radiechio alla griglia (a salad
from Treviso where the lettuce owes its quality to
the purity of the town's water).
Specially commissioned photographs capture
both the beauty of the sights and the appetizing
colors of local products, inviting readers to bring
the flavor of Venice into their own home.
