A Venetian Affair covers the lifestyle of the Venetians during XVIII century. I discovered the title after having read what would have been book 2 of the story: Lucia a Venetian life in the age of Napoleon, which is also a delightful recount of the life of the docce,dukes, and other rich citizens of the Serene Republic up to Napoleon and his defeat. The author tells the story following letters that his father found in the Mocenigo palace in Venice in the XX century, in addition Robilant conducted his own research while living in Venice for a year.
