Art and Culture 10. Seductive Venice with Kathleen Gonzalez

This week we talk to writer Kathleen Gonzalez, who has written books about contemporary and historical Venice, including a compilation of short biographies of many of the city's most notable women, all of whom should be better known than they are, as well as volumes that trace the footsteps of Casanova though both Venice and Rome. 

You can find more of her work on her blog and her YouTube channel. You may have noticed that we've started putting background reading lists on our show notes. And today's recommended reading is any or all of her books, which you can find at the third of the links below.
