The citys much architectural splendour its winding canals ancient piazzas & charming markets are marvellous to visit--and crowded with people in every season. In these hauntingly beautiful photographs Christopher Thomas takes readers on a solitary tour of the city Lord Byron once called the Most Serene Republic."
