Contrary to its title, the book does not concentrate on Venice alone. It is actually an economic history of the early Italian trading cities of Amalfi, Pisa, Genoa and naturally Venice. The importance of a continental supply chain from China to India to Arabia to Europe for the development and welfare of these cities is highlighted as well as their bitter rivalries.
