Kosmo Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I looked on the net for informations about Venice just some days ago, but what I found most was about the city and his italian possesions and little about what I was interested in: the sea trade and the oversea teritories. As usual, informations found on Internet have little details. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might try John Julius Norwich who I've never read but many people speak very highly of. His works are popular enough to make it into the average well-stocked bookstore like Barnes and Noble here in the US and I'd guess maybe the equivalent in Australia. I think he's written a couple of books on Venice covering it's complete history. If you plug in History and Venice together into Amazon.com's search engine you'll get a few ideas, but admittedly not many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
