Piazza San Marco

Informationen zum Autor Iain Fenlon is Professor of Historical Musicology at the University of Cambridge. Klappentext The Piazza San Marco, one of the most famous, instantly recognizable townscapes in the West, has been described as a stage set, Europe’s drawing room, a painter's canvas.
