History Walks in Venice<p><strong>An unreasonably short History of Venice</strong></p><p></p><p>I have written a short History of Venice — an <em>Unreasonably short History of Venice</em>, in fact.</p><p>During my walks in Venice, I very often explain the same bits of the History of Venice again and again.</p><p>When I decided to make a podcast of some of the many stories I tell during my history walks — the <a href="https://venetianstories.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Venetian Stories Podcast</a> — it became clear that I had to fill in the holes between all the various bits and pieces.</p><p>Without a basic chronological narrative, the stories would be hanging in the air, without sufficient context to make sense.</p><p>I therefore wrote the scripts for an initial series of podcast episodes to tell the story of Venice as succinctly as possible.</p><p>This ended up as seven episodes of about thirty minutes each.</p><p>Having written the scripts for the podcast, it was obvious to rework them into a reasonably coherent text.</p><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/topics/publications/" target="_blank">#Publications</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/free-downloads/" target="_blank">#FreeDownloads</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/publication/" target="_blank">#Publication</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/venezia/" target="_blank">#Venezia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://historywalksvenice.com/tag/venice/" target="_blank">#Venice</a></p><p>Read more here: <a href="https://historywalksvenice.com/2025/04/an-unreasonably-short-history-of-venice/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://historywalksvenice.com/2025/04/an-unreasonably-short-history-of-venice/</a></p>
