Description

(031991) Di Robilant, Andrea. A Venetian Affair. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2003. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 8vo. 313 pages. Fine in Fine DJ. True story of love in eighteenth-century Venice. Letters from Andrea Memmo (1729-1793) , one of the last great Venetian statesmen, to a beautiful half-English girl named Giustiniana Wynne. Andrea di Robilant, heir to the lovers’ legacy, captures them in the twilight of the golden era of Venice, with forays to the colorful social circles of London and Paris along the way. His sparkling, well-paced narrative evokes the world of mask-wearing men and ladies attending Goldoni plays and gambling at the Ridotto—bringing to life, 250 years later, a tale of unbounded passion and rich historical intrigue.
