Venice

71 min

The tide draws out across the lagoon and the city lies on the surface of it, the way a leaf comes to rest on a pond. This factual sleep story follows Venice from the pointed timber piles driven into the wet ground to the relics carried home by sea, the shipyard that fitted a hull dock by dock, and the last of the councils that ran it for centuries.
