Venice in midsummer Dreams and daily life
The author recalls a Venice stay in September in mid summer heat, finding the city not uncomfortably warm with moonlit nights. They describe gondola life, serenades on the Grand Canal, and the contrast between palace fantasies and modern hotels with electric lights. They note gondolier costs, piazza social scenes, Florian's, and mixed drinks, plus brief glimpses into royal apartments, lace and glass crafts, and the waning commercial glory of Venice.
