"There is nothing new to be said about her." said Henry James. "Venice is the most beautiful cliche on earth."
If a writer thinks it is difficult to find fresh ideas in Venice, think of the painters who painted Venice before us: ---- Titian, Tiepolo and Canaletto! Search Julian Merrow-Smith, Postcard From Provence ---- for a contemporary attempt. In my series I am searching for the ironic, location-specific and of-this-moment Venice.
