Venecia

Cees Nooteboom's passion for Venice has not faded in more than fifty years. His first visit was in 1964, in the company of a young woman. Then, in 1982, he arrived in Venice on the Orient Express, but did not board a gondola to tour it until his tenth visit. He has plunged into the depths of the labyrinth and discovered his own urban gaps between the alleys, the closed gates and the countless canals. He surrounds himself with those who have died and pays tribute to the painters and writers, composers and artists who lived in this city or were inspired by it, as well as the palaces, bridges, paintings and sculptures that give this city a kind of immortality.
