The 7th volume in the series devoted to artistic relations between Italy and the Netherlands, features the experience of the Venetian nobleman Francesco Morosin, the owner of the Amsterdam- built ship Sant'Agata Morosina, and poses one basic question: what can have prompted the nobleman to have commissioned a ship "alla Veneziana" in a country so far from home? In attempting to answer the question, the author's research brings to light numerous and fascinating aspects, revealing the many ways in which decisions and developments at the highest political and diplomatic level influence events and have an impact on the life of single individual.
