Customer Reviews

A great book of a great historian.

It would be ridiculous and supercilious to review this great book of a great historian, celebrated since its first edition in 1934. This is only a loving recollection of an illustrious researcher and dear friend that dedicated so much of his outstanding toil to the Queen of the Mediterranean.It is enough to say that Venetian Ships and Shipbuilders of the Renaissance, after seventy years, is still a must for all who want to study in depth the European history of the XV and XVI century.
