The Venetian Stories Newsletter

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.

Sign up for free

To sign up for the Venetian Stories Newsletter, simply send an email with the word “Subscribe” in the subject line.

To unsubscribe later, an email with the subject line of “Unsubscribe” will suffice.

Venetian Stories are ad-free

You can support this project by booking tours, making donations, or spreading the word.

Privacy

The newsletter is administered manually, without any external services.

Your email address will be stored on an in-house file server, and will be used only to send the newsletter.

Email addresses will not be sold, given or otherwise passed to anybody else.
