"What hides behind the grand façades that line the canals of Venice may be even more impressive than their ornate exteriors. But few people have had the opportunity to see these magnificent rooms—until now, that is. . .  Divided into seven chapters showcasing different neighborhoods, [Inside Venice] includes never-before-photographed homes and some of Venice’s beloved art and cultural institutions, from the Ca’ d’Oro to the Punta della Dogana, now home to the François Pinault Foundation."

"Venice has been a tourist attraction since the Renaissance for good reason: the canals, alleys, hidden gardens and outlandish architecture are like nothing else on the planet. Visitors can spend weeks wandering the city, discovering something new at every turn. There’s a hidden world, though, which almost every tourist has been missing – the dizzying, gorgeous rooms within the city’s richest residential homes. In the new book, Inside Venice: A Private View of the City’s Most Beautiful Interiors, we finally have a chance to peek inside these palazzos."
