Torcello – Rediscovering the past in the heart of the lagoon

“Torcello – Rediscovering the Past in the Heart of the Lagoon” is not only the first interactive e-book in the ‘Venice in the Rhythm of the Lagoon’ series, but also a unique invitation from the author to experience Venice’s origins in a completely new way.

For the first time, this book brings to light the latest archaeological findings on the history of Venice’s origins – knowledge that remains hidden from tourists on Torcello.

A particular highlight of the book are exclusive video interviews with people who still live and work on Torcello today. They provide authentic insights into life on the island, which now only has nine permanent residents. In addition, visitors from all over the world – from the USA to China – talk about their personal impressions and explain what fascinates them about this special place.

Unlike many Venice guides, this e-book breaks new ground and deliberately avoids the typical clichés. Instead, the author invites you to explore Torcello and the northern lagoon from a new, independent perspective. Whether alone by boat, on foot or by bike, readers will learn how to discover Venice off the beaten track in their own way.

This book offers not only facts, but also an invitation to conscious perception and to intensify the travel experience – a value that readers may wish to rediscover in their own travels.

With interactive elements that offer a completely new reading experience, Torcello is the prelude to a series that redefines access to the northern lagoon as an emotional and enriching experience.

Immerse yourself in the beginnings of a special journey and let yourself be inspired by the surprising impressions of the lagoon – a gateway to Venice beyond the usual perspectives.
