In case you’d like to see the videos from the Venetian Lives interview, they’re available on Facebook for about 25 more days. Graziella Giusto hosted me at her new atelier / artist’s workshop in Cannaregio, Venice, on June 11. Author Marie Ohanesian Nardin interviewed me, and we had a lovely conversation about my books. Here are the questions:
- What did you learn from the gondoliers of Venice?
- How does Casanova’s life reveal Venice–her streets, buildings, and history?
- When you learned about the historical women of Venice, how did that help you redefine beauty?
- Explain some of the many ways people love Venice.
- How are Venetians resilient and how do they give you hope?
