Francesco´s Venice

"Venice has been painted an described many thousands of times, and of all the cities in the world it is the easiest to visit without going there"
Henry James

Well, James was probably right. One excellent way to visit Venice without going there is to watch Francesco da Mosto´s four part series "Francesco´s Venice". Architect, author and film maker, count da Mosto is a knowledgeable and never boring guide to the city that has been the home of his family possibly since the fifth century A.D. However, be prepared to actually want to visit or revisit Venice after watching these documentaries!
