Bosworth looks at the glamour and squalor of the belle époque and the dark underbelly of modernization, the two world wars, and the far-reaching oppressions of the fascist regime, through to the "Disneylandification" of Venice and the tourist boom, the worldwide attention of the biennale and film festival, and current threats of subsidence and flooding posed by global warming. He draws out major themes-the increasingly anachronistic but deeply embedded Catholic Church, the two faces of modernization, consumerism versus culture.   Bosworth interrogates not just Venice's history but its meanings, and how the city's past has been co-opted to suit present and sometimes ulterior aims. Venice, he shows, is a city where its histories as well as its waters ripple on the surface. 606 $aSocial change$zItaly$zVenice$xHistory 607 $aVenice (Italy)$xHistory$y1797-1866 607 $aVenice (Italy)$xHistory$y1866- 607 $aVenice (Italy)$xSocial conditions 607 $aVenice (Italy)$xPolitics and government 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory. 676 $a945.31109 686 $aHIS020000$aHIS037060$aHIS037070$2bisacsh 700 $aBosworth$b R.
