Abstract
The short poem Περὶ τῆς ὡραιοτάτης Βενετίας is dedicated to Venice and it constitutes an example of the exchange of books, stories, words and people between Venice and Greece; that is useful for the reconstruction of the cultural-historical context during the eighteenth century. From the very first verses, the composition renders an image of a triumphant Venice of great wealth and prestige. Through the analysis of the text, some aspects of the cultural relations between the Republic and its Greek-speaking people are highlighted.
