They wondered about the relationship between men and urban environment.
Tiziano Scarpa book “Venezia è un pesce” (Venice is a fish)
A guide of Venice where every chapter is related to a body part and its corresponding sense.

A chapter is also titled “Random” (and subtitled “Without direction”) suggesting that in Venice the drift is the only way to reach a worthy destination.
