Strauss & Co – Talks and Presentations

Venice: Changemaker
of the Western World
Felicity Jervis
How did a small city, never part
of Rome, built on wooden piles
in a lagoon, become the richest,
most powerful city state in
the Western and Oriental world?
How did glorious Venice – its
ingenuity, its ancient democracy,
its widespread trading dominance,
brilliance, and ethnically diverse
population – change our Western
world? And how did our Western
world in turn change Venice?
Felicity recounts this documentary
through hundreds of illustrations,
videos and music.
Wed 14 09:30 – 10:30
