About the book

This is a non-fiction book which opens with the flames that destroyed the Fenice opera house in Venice in 1996. Arriving in the city three days after the fire, the author becomes a kind of detective, inquiring into the nature of life in this remarkable museum-city, while gradually revealing the facts about the fire. The book portraits one of the world's most beautiful historic cities and its extraordinary inhabitants with their scandals, corruption and mistresses.
