Title: The Floating City: Public Life in Venice through the Ages

URL: https://cloud.lib.wfu.edu/blog/floatingcity/

Description: This course uses an interdisciplinary lens to observe a mosaic of views on Venice. We look at images, architectural drawings, and maps to understand the way that buildings created and framed the public spaces of the piazza; read laws, travel accounts, and journals to understand how communal and individual concerns were negotiated in these public spaces; and read plays and listen to music composed and performed in the city to understand the intersecting roles of politics, art, and culture over time.
