Summary "Venice and Its Story" by Thomas Okey is a historical account written in the early 20th century. It explores the rich history and cultural significance of Venice, detailing its foundations, prominent figures, and the evolution of the Republic. Okey's work promises to offer readers an insightful narrative of Venice's rise to maritime supremacy and the artistic heritage that defines the city today. The opening of the book presents a vivid account of the beginnings of Venice, describing the early settlers' migration to the lagoon islands amidst the chaos of invading forces in the Roman Empire. Okey recounts the establishment of Venice through organized movements of communities seeking refuge, emphasizing their resolve to create a place of stability and prosperity. The foundation of the city is presented not merely as an escape but as a deliberate act of creation, setting the stage for the later flourishing of Venetian culture, governance, and architecture as the city emerged as a significant maritime power in Europe.
