Geography & the Environment
Description
"Walks in Venice" is a detailed guide rich in historical-artistic information able to satisfy the needs of the most demanding traveller, but also the spontaneous curiosity of those who simply want to relax by immersing themselves in the particular iridescent atmospheres of light and water of this unique city.
The twelve lagoon itineraries proposed by Ernesto Maria Sfriso - a writer with a long experience as a tourist guide in Venice - aim to accompany the visitor step by step in the discovery of the magnificent palaces, the splendid churches, the numerous civic or private museums and the historical monuments that follow one another along the calli and squares of each sestiere, dwelling punctually on the rich harvest of works of art that the Republic of Venice has been able to produce and welcome during its millenary history of political and commercial power.
The routes also lead to the islands surrounding Venice - Murano, Burano, Torcello, the Lido, but also to the smaller convents and cultural centres - to then move inland through Mestre and on to visit the stately homes along the route to Treviso, the beautiful Venetian villas that are reflected in the waters of the Riviera del Brenta, and finally the airy streets of Chioggia.

Helvetia Editrice
Edizioni Helvetia was born in 1972 from an idea of the poet and musician Gianni Spagnol who, after a six-year experience in Zurich as a printer at an important publishing complex, wanted to found in Venice - between Campo San Rocco and Campo San Tomà, not far from the Frari Church - a printing house/publishing house that would promote and stimulate the historical-literary production of the Venetian and Venetian area in detail. Then, with the 90s, the company was moved to the mainland. In 2006, with the acquisition by its granddaughter Daniela Spagnol, the name changed to Helvetia Editrice and the publications continued to explore themes linked to the territory, especially in the "Rosso Veneziano" series - which gathers historical curiosities, with a "popular" and mainly narrative slant - and the "VeneziaeVenetoVivo" series - more linked to pure historical non-fiction and documentation. Enriched with non-fiction and fiction, since 2019 Helvetia has been back in the game with two series that challenge the usual comfort zone by leaving the local territory: "Taccuini d'Autore" (Author's Notebooks), which collects books on the road, texts that travel and travel along the frontier of writing; and "Nuovi Territori" (New Territories), a line created to enhance new authors and unusual topics from experimental themes.
