Their marriage in the mid-sixteenth century might be regarded as allegorical of the Venetian experience, with the metropole at the center of a fragmented empire: a Terraferma nobleman and the daughter of a Venetian senator, who raised their family unit in far off Crete in the stato da mar, in Venice itself, and in the Friuli and the Veneto in the stato da terra. The fortunes and misfortunes of the ix surviving Della Torre children and their descendants, tracked through the end of the Commonwealth in 1797, are likewise emblematic of a modify in feudal civilization from association solidarity to individualism and intrafamily strife, and ultimately, redemption.

Despite the efforts past both the Della Torre and the Bembo families to preserve the patrimony through a succession of male heirs, the last survivor in the paternal bloodline of each was a daughter. This epic tale highlights the role of women in creating family unit networks and opens a precious window into a contentious period in which Venetian republican values clash with the deeply rooted feudal traditions of award and blood feuds of the mainland.

Chocolate-brown (fine art and archeology, Princeton) here argues that considering of this lack of a Roman connection, Venetians devised a history for their city, creating a genealogy that they found acceptable. To support this conception, Venice is examined during its Gilt Age (the 13th to 16th centuries) through its arts, crafts, and literature to explore the "evolution of a Venetian view of time, of history and of historical change." Brownish is painstaking in her research, using many translations of primary sources from the period. She includes 42 pages of notes and a xv-page bibliography (in small impress). Though her writing style may strike the average reader as pedantic, specialists will find this a useful source
