I Am Writing The First Travel Guidebook To A Country That No Longer Exists
My name is Giovanni Vale, I am a journalist and travel writer. I am launching the first guidebook series to countries that no longer exist, “Extinguished Countries”. In these days of quarantine and travel limitations, these guidebooks make us travel back in time, to lost kingdoms, republic and empires, looking for what unites us rather than divides us. The first book of the series is about the Republic of Venice, a 1000-year old state that stretched all the way from Italy to Cyprus and that died in 1797. I just launched Extinguished Countries on Kickstarter and reached the € 10k goal in only 3 days. The campaign will end on March 31st. Support us and get the book!

The Republic of Venice died in 1797. Now you can visit it!
In the book I feature some amazing places. This is the Venetian fortress of Saint Nicholas in Sibenik (Croatia).
This is me having fun in the fortress. But it could be you ;-)
The book makes you travel following old maps and beyond today’s borders.
There are castles that turned into cultural centers. Like this one:
And there are stories from the past that are very relevant today. This is about the Plague Doctor costume!
