I purchased this book full of expectations, hoping to get through it the opportunity to embroider Venice in all its beauty, but unfortunately I was very disappointed. I can not say whether it's a bad book, but really it's not about a real book of embroidery! Most of the pages dedicated to the travel diary, with many stories of living in Venice and many photos even romantic, but the patterns are all the same! Represent the city in the same way, from a distance, more a "feeling" for Venice than with a look for it .... The works proposed are very sweet and romantic, but they are all similar: seen one seems to already seen them all! They are extremely repetitive and also the city always seen from afar, no channels, no streets, no monuments or picturesque nooks: only distant horizons with thin skyline and a mountain shrubs, reeds and trees ...... If I wanted embroider shrubs and small trees I bought him the Pineta scheme of class, not a book about Venice, cross stitch! I purchased over time other books embroidery, other authors, dedicated to places, cities and travel, but all the other times I have found that the various aspects of the chosen places were all treated and represented; but here you get the impression that the author is only fossilized sun a distant impression and you just ... I do not think ricamer these schemes. I think it is a book suitable for those who love the Parolin work no matter what, but would not recommend to those who, like me, would rather simply wanted to embroider a city...
