The Piazza San Marco is the most famous townscape in the West. This book is the first to consider it as a coherent whole, as a theatre in which the whole of Venetian history took place, to which it can serve as a highly evocative introduction. Piazza San Marco is a dynamic open space organically connected to the buildings which frame it. It shows how much is lost if the ensemble is divided into the individual structures of Doges` Palace, Basilica of San Marco, Campanile & so on, each `marvellous` in their own right but functionally separate. Here a different story is told by relating them to each other & to the theatrical piazza of which they form a part; it sees the events that took place there as a barometer of 1, 000 years of Venetian history. It recreates not only rituals of the past but also the activities of the present
- from the coronation of the Doge & the arrival of the Crusaders` loot, through the pathetic collapse of the Republic, to Death in Venice & the legendary Pink Floyd concert of 1989
- all taking place in an iconic space which the writings of traditional historians have left dead & silent.
