An unreasonably short History of Venice

I have written a short History of Venice — an Unreasonably short History of Venice, in fact.

During my walks in Venice, I very often explain the same bits of the History of Venice again and again.

When I decided to make a podcast of some of the many stories I tell during my history walks — the Venetian Stories Podcast — it became clear that I had to fill in the holes between all the various bits and pieces.

Without a basic chronological narrative, the stories would be hanging in the air, without sufficient context to make sense.

I therefore wrote the scripts for an initial series of podcast episodes to tell the story of Venice as succinctly as possible.

This ended up as seven episodes of about thirty minutes each.

Having written the scripts for the podcast, it was obvious to rework them into a reasonably coherent text.
