Venice Observed

• Venice Observed - Mary McCarthy

This was an interesting book. Mary McCarthy shows the side of Venice that you don't necessarily see as a tourist. For instance, the crazy signorina that she stays with who digs through her things and is facinated by her toiletries. I also love that she talks about Giorgione because I love his La Tempesta. There are a few parts of the book that I'm iffy on her choice of organization, but for once I actually learned something different from a survery book. I wish I could get something new out of everything I read.
