Guide to a Non-Existent Country
Manage episode 262964655 series 1776634
The Italian journalist and travel writer Giovanni Vale is used to writing tourist guidebooks, but usually they're for countries that still exist. We rang him up to ask why he's turned his attention to 'extinguished' countries, starting with the Venetian Republic which sprawled across the Mediterranean for more than a millennium. Also this week: Polish punk and Europe's organic revolution.
Giovanni's guide to the Venetian Republic is available for pre-order here: https://bit.ly/2zB1Rar
