The Venetian Stories Newsletter is an older sibling to the podcast.
It covers many of the same arguments, but usually in a shorter and more visual form, suitable for a 5–10 minute read, compared to 25–30 minutes for the podcast episodes.
There will be at most two or three newsletters a month. I won’t be spamming your inbox.

Past Venetian Stories
-
The Blood of Christ
A particular Venetian Easter tradition, and a forgotten Venetian charity, and some special relics.
-
Courtesans
The ancient Venetians had a rather ambiguous relationship with prostitution. It was both rejected and accepted. Four prints show this ambiguity.
-
An almost unknown painter
The paintings of Gabriel Bella are well-known and often used, but very little is known about Gabriel Bella.
