Brown's moody and evocative photos of Venetian masks and the beautiful city.

Book excerpt: The Carnival of Venice (Italian: Carnevale di Venezia) is an annual festival held in Venice, Italy. The Carnival ends with the Christian celebration of Lent, forty days before Easter, on Shrove Tuesday (Martedì Grasso or Mardi Gras), the day before Ash Wednesday. The festival is world-famous for its elaborate masks.It's said that the Carnival of Venice was started from a victory of the Venice Republic against the Patriarch of Aquileia, Ulrico di Treven in the year 1162. In the honour of this victory, the people started to dance and gather in San Marco Square. Apparently, this festival started on that period and became official in the Renaissance. It reappeared gradually in the nineteenth century, but only for short periods and above all for private feasts, where it became an occasion for artistic creations.After a long absence, the Carnival returned in 1979.[6] The Italian government decided to bring back the history and culture of Venice, and sought to use the traditional Carnival as the centerpiece of its efforts. The redevelopment of the masks began as the pursuit of some Venetian college students for the tourist trade. Since then, approximately 3 million visitors come to Venice every year for the Carnival.[7] One of the most important events is the contest for la maschera più bella ("the most beautiful mask") which will be judged by a panel of international costume and fashion designers. Several distinct styles of mask are worn in the Venice Carnival, some with identifying names. People with different occupations wore different masks.

Carnevale is in full swing, the streets and waterways of Venice are crowded with masked revellers and Nathan Sutherland's birthday is about to be ruined. A night at the opera at La Fenice is always a memorable experience - and this time it will be so for all the wrong reasons as the curtain call is interrupted by a fatal stabbing. But why is the dead man carrying one of Nathan's business cards in his wallet? The mystery of the murdered stranger takes Nathan on the trail of a lost opera by Monteverdi. But what begins as a harmless treasure hunt leads to ruthless criminals asking the highest of prices for the lost score... and then a second body is found in the sanctuary of Venice's English church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laura Sinclair, a determined art restorer with a hidden past, arrives in Venice during the height of Carnival under the guise of a consulting expert. But Laura's true mission is far more dangerous: she must locate a lost artifact tied to an ancient Venetian society that once held the city's hidden power. Haunted by past failures and driven by a need for redemption, Laura finds herself navigating the labyrinthine canals and shadowy underworld of Venice, where secrets are as common as the masks worn by revelers. At a masquerade ball, Laura unexpectedly crosses paths with Marco Valenti, a charming con artist and her former lover. Their past is fraught with betrayal and unresolved tension, and Marco's appearance in Venice feels both coincidental and deliberate. As Laura and Marco are forced into an uneasy alliance, they uncover a web of hidden vaults, secret codes, and deadly traps designed to protect a power that could change the city's future forever. With Ricci, a ruthless antagonist, and his men constantly on their trail, Laura and Marco must outwit not only their enemies but also their own mistrust of each other. Their journey takes them deep into the catacombs beneath Venice, where they face physical and emotional challenges that test their skills and resolve. As they race against time, Laura and Marco find themselves questioning their loyalties and the true nature of the artifact they seek. The stakes escalate when the artifact is revealed to be more than just a key to treasure-it's a cipher to Venice's darkest secrets, capable of shifting the balance of power in the city. Marco, driven by both selfish and noble motives, makes a harrowing sacrifice to protect Laura and the artifact, forcing them both to confront their pasts and what they truly want from their futures. In a dramatic showdown on one of Venice's iconic bridges, Laura and Marco outsmart their pursuers, but not without paying a heavy price. The truth of the artifact is made public in a controlled revelation, aiming to protect Venice's heritage while exposing the hidden powers that have long shaped the city. As the dust settles, Laura receives an unexpected offer to lead a new expedition, leaving her to ponder the future and whether Marco will join her on another daring adventure. Set against the backdrop of Venice's enchanting canals and masked celebrations, The Venetian Masquerade is a thrilling tale of secrets, betrayals, and the unbreakable bond between two people searching for redemption. It's a story where every discovery unearths another layer of mystery, and where the past refuses to stay buried.

Newlyweds Nathan Sutherland and Federica Ravagnan are looking forward to weeks of sunshine and relaxation on the island of Pellestrina, in a cottage belonging to Federica's late father, Elio. The weather is idyllic, the views across the lagoon are spectacular and the seafood is the best in Venice. But when the body of an eminent Venetian lawyer is dredged up by a fishing boat, members of the close-knit island community start to take an unhealthy interest in the two honeymooners, and whispers and rumours begin to circulate about Elio's association with a recently-deceased gang boss. As Federica struggles to comes to terms with her father's troubled legacy, Nathan finds himself dragged into the search for the missing proceeds of an unsolved jewellery heist, and the unwanted centre of attention of the Mala del Brenta - the Venetian Mafia. Clearly Pellestrina is going to be no honeymoon... _______________ Praise for Philip Gwynne Jones 'Superb - always gripping, beautifully constructed and vivid' Stephen Glover 'Clever and great fun' The Times 'Sinister and shimmering, The Venetian Game is as haunting and darkly elegant as Venice itself' L.S.

Download or read book Venice written by Pericles Boutos and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The images in this book, taken at the Venice Carnival in 1996, 97, and 98 by the Greek photographer Pericles Boutos, illuminate and unmask this age-old Venetian tradition. Following in the footsteps of the great French-American tradition of photographers like Cartier-Bresson and Garry Winogrand, Boutos brings to the fore a Carnival which has lost, along with color, its very identity. That his images capture the contemporary reality of this much photographed spectacle without any cliche or shopworn excess is a testament to the photographer, who portrays with deceptive ease the behind-the-scenes rituals of the carnival's baroque proceedings.
