For years, Venice has been a source of deep creative inspiration for him; and now, in \u003ci\u003eVenice: A Sketchbook Guide\u003c\/i\u003e, he captures the highlights of this most beguiling of Italian cities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnsurprisingly, given his abiding passion for architecture, Matthew provides a wealth of information about the 'stones' of Venice, including an illustrated guide to the main building styles of the city - Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Modern - and exemplars of its balconies, bridges and campaniles. Further sections explore the city's \u003ci\u003esestieri\u003c\/i\u003e - its six residential quarters - as well as its history, paintings, festivals, wildlife and, not least, its \u003ci\u003ecicchetti\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eaperitivi\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the same landscape format as Matthew's real-life sketchbooks, \u003ci\u003eVenice: A Sketchbook Guide\u003c\/i\u003e will combine enchanting watercolour illustrations with an informed, personal and witty text, and promises to delight all visitors to Venice, armchair or actual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMatthew Rice\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eRice's Architectural Primer\u003c\/i\u003e, which has been warmly embraced by architectural students and enthusiasts alike.
