E27: Beatrice and the most amazing basilica of Saint Mark in Venice!

Update: 2021-10-05

Description

Rob and the wonderfully "solare" Beatrice have a fascinating discussion about Venice and its most important church dedicated to Saint Mark. They go over why it was so essential to have the relics of the Saint in the city and how Venice used its spin on the story to send a message to all that the city was truly a republic independent from the popes. It is a journey that spans from Constantinople, Alexandria to the heart of the great city of Venice. Learn about the Doges and the magnificent mosaics in this church all in one podcast!
