Indeed, it’s so useful, we’re told that some Venetians use it themselves to find out more about their own city! While you think this guide book might be something of a curiosity it’s actually practical for visitors to Venice, too, offering several different walking itineraries that take you around a number of areas of the city, describing intimate details of the area, points to notice on buildings, facts about restaurants, offering historical information and more. Written by Guido Fuga and Lele Vianello, two great designers, both friends and collaborators of Hugo Pratt, you’ll enjoy the way Corto Maltese leads you to places known mostly only by the Venetians, the book featuring illustrations from the popular series throughout.

There have been written many guide books to Venice of course, that describe places to go, and things to see, but The Secret Venice of Corto Maltese, originally published back in 1988 in Italian as Corto Sconto: itinerari fantastici e nascosti di Corto Maltese a Venezia is definitely one for anyone wanting something much more.
