For over twelve years, the art photographer Stephan Loeber-Bottero has covered every inch of the labyrinths of Venice, Italy, to build a very personal vision of the Serinissima, both poetic and extraordinary. His photographs were all taken at night and give the city a very particular atmosphere, hardly disturbed by the presence of people. The book provides a new insight into the corners of the city, noble or popular, sumptuous or modest, sacred or profane. The reader is led progressively into the mystery of Venice seen from a different angle that will change his mind about everything he thought he knew about the city.
Detailed maps of different nighttime strolls are the final touch to an invitation to a very special journey. A short anthology about "night in Venice" as an annex brings together texts by poets and writers such as Goldoni, Boïto, George Sand, Casanova, Marcel Proust.
