Course Description

This seminar will study the mythical and historical origins of this Italian treasure. Learn how Venice rose from the marshes of northern Italy to become one of the most
dominant naval powers in the Mediterranean Sea. The unique government and fascinating economy will be discussed in detail. This course will trace Venice’s dramatic fall from power to ultimately becoming one of the hottest tourist spots on the planet. Finally, we will discuss the current problems that beset this irreplaceable treasure and proposals for the future.
