After sorting through the monuments of Venice's powerful past, Rick traces its decline from Europe's most powerful city to its most hedonistic one. He cruises the Grand Canal, luxuriates in a venerable cafe, and savors fresh fish canalside with Venetian friends. Later, he's dazzled by masterpieces of the Venetian Renaissance and gets intimate with the city of Casanova...on a gondola under the moonlight. (10 of 14)
