Visions of Other Urban Dimensions. Written Travellers’ Experiences

Before the era of mass media the only sources of information were picture and word – written and spoken. Through documents written by Venetian diplomats and travellers and then by Italian ones it is possible to understand how, first Venetians than Italians, saw and see Istanbul. Through the same kind of materials it is possible to understand what the city of Vienna meant to Venetians and means to Italians, and which functions had and has. The written word brigs information on how “strangers” saw and see Venice, and which meanings the city offers.
