- This 100,000-word monograph explores the nineteenth-century geographical imagination of Venice and its link to the Dolomite Mountains. It explores landscape branding based on three distinct matrices of topographic memory: the Venetian Grand Tour, historical debates on the geological makeup of the Earth, and the Golden Age of mountaineering. It is the first academic book on the historical geography of the Dolomites in any language and of any historical period. It utilises extensive material from archives worldwide and is supported by research in the German, French and Italian languages.
