Venetian Stories

About Venetian Stories

A podcast of Venetian Stories — episodes from the History of Venice from the time of Augustus until today. It is not a chronological narrative, but a series of freestanding episodes from the two millennia of Venetian history. However, for newcomers, the first few episodes are a quick-paced chronological narrative of the most important events. Start there, even if you arrive later. Podcast sponsored by History Walks Venice.
