World Cultural Guides: Venice by Terisio Pignatti is a 1971 guide that explores Venice\'s rich history, art, and architecture. It is one of many art-focused books published in the 1960s and 1970s by the Italian company Skira, known for its high-quality art publications.
The book offers a snapshot of the city in the early 1970s, with a history written by Terisio Pignatti, a Venetian art historian and museum curator. Pignatti was a well-respected authority on Venetian art, having also written books on masters like Giorgione, Titian, and Veronese.
The guide is richly illustrated with color and black-and-white photos and includes comprehensive descriptions of major historical and artistic sites. It covers the city\'s Byzantine-Romanesque and Gothic masterpieces, including the Doge\'s Palace and St. Mark\'s Basilica.
