The City of Venice has produced an exceptional number of amazingly important artists in its 1400 years of existence. As a “place” it is unique in the world: a floating dream, with a population that hovered around an average of 80,000. Built on water and swampy islands, owning a specifically invented architecture, it was not connected to terra-firma until the 20th century.We will cover the most outstanding of these masters, formally analyze their operas, and presenting the soul of their esthetics, always connecting their art to the beauty and magic of their city.
