NO RESERVATIONS (September 2010)
The maverick chef/writer/travel filmmaker Antony Bourdain of award-winning film series 'No Reservations' visits Venice and - of course - Geoffrey Humphries. Includes a visit to the famous painter's Giudecca studio, the celebrated artist's bistro Montin, and reflections on the dangers of life in Venice.
In Venice to shoot our Autumn Winter catalogue, and with Calvino's book "Invisible Cities" to hand, we asked the Venetians we met what they thought of Calvino's account of their city. Many remembered it from their school days (with varying levels of fondness), some did not know it at all, but almost all we asked were willing to read a line or two for us.
