Renowned professor Thomas F. Madden focuses his expertise on what has been called the most beautiful city in the world: Venice. In these lectures, Professor Madden explains how the city on the lagoon was established by refugees escaping the onslaught of northern “barbarians” invading the crumbling Roman Empire. Through its history, Venice housed the world’s leading merchants, thrived as a maritime powerhouse, and developed into an independent republic not unlike the present United States. Venice draws millions of visitors each year, and these lectures shed light on why the city is such a continual source of fascination.

This series of lectures was fantastic. I came out of it having learned a lot. The chronological overview of the city was complemented by each lecture focussing on a different aspect of Venice; this structure worked very well.
I did however find it a bit difficult to listen to the narrator at some points. He has a pleasant voice but speaks in stops-and-starts, making his sentences a bit choppy. By lecture three I had gotten used to it and the content was fascinating enough to make me keep listening.
I also appreciate that the content wasn't overdramacized. This was a solid series of lectures and I will be looking for other topics from this lecture series in the future. Thank you!

Fascinating series of lectures!
