DetailsBackDetailsFirst used in medieval Venice and prized for its manoeuvrability, the gondola evolved over the centuries into today's sleek, asymmetrical black boat. Illustrated with reproductions of views of Venice, Donna Leon's little book offers 'a new way to enter into the life of the city' through the stories of the gondola, its history, its makers and its songs. A CD of gondoliers' barcarole accompanies the book, recorded by Il Pomo d'Oro, with a special track by Cecilia Bartoli.See MoreSee Less publ $27.50now £3.99 Qty Qty123 Add to Basket CategoriesGift IdeasPerforming ArtsMusic (+CDs)Travel (all)TravelTagsOpera
