Le monete dei possedimenti veneziani di oltremare e di terraferma descritte ed illustrate da Vincenzo Lazari

This volume invites listeners into a meticulous exploration of the modest yet telling currency that circulated throughout Venice’s far‑flung colonies and mainland holdings. The author begins by noting how the monetary history of these territories has long been eclipsed by the glitter of the metropolis itself, and he sets out to recover the lost details through careful examination of surviving coins, archival decrees, and contemporary mint records. The narrative is grounded in rigorous numismatic analysis, yet it remains accessible, illuminating how each piece reflects the political and commercial ties that bound distant lands to the Republic.

Beyond the textual study, the work promises a series of finely engraved plates that will bring the described pieces to life for the ear. The author’s youthful enthusiasm for criticism and correction shines through, encouraging scholars to engage with the findings and help refine this early attempt to map a forgotten chapter of Venetian economic history.
