The Venetian Stories Podcast is a podcast of stories about Venice, and in particular the History of Venice.
Venetian Stories are ad-free
You can support this project by booking tours, making donations, or spreading the word.
It is not a chronological narrative, but a series of freestanding episodes from the two millennia of Venetian history.
Chronology is, however, the mother of all History, and she cannot be ignored. Therefore, the first few episodes are a quick-paced chronological narrative of the most important events. Listen to those episodes first, for the background.
