No city in the world was sparked so many desires and fantasies as Venice. In the 18th century, its heady atmosphere of freedom produce an extraordinary cultural flowering. Famous artists like Vivaldi, Tiepolo and his sons, Canaletto, Longhi, Guardi, Goldoni and Casanova hurled themselves into a giddy whirl of libertinage while leaving their stamp on the unique city.

Venetian insolence transports us from canal to canal, palazzo to palazzo, bathing us in the magical atmosphere of this maze of the city and conjuring up the uniquely flamboyant Venice of the 18th century.
