From Birth to Glory, the False Glow, the Dying Carnival

As Venice lost its international trade advantages in the East, due to the incursions of the Ottoman Turks and the new trading expansion by the Portuguese, Dutch and English into Asia, it turned for consolation and commerce to the Italian mainland. The Venetian merchant princes had the great architect Andrea Palladio build them beautiful country villas on the Italian mainland. Presented by Elric Hooper and Des Wilson.
