What reading level is Venice As Seen And Described By Famous Writers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE CA' D'ORO MAX DOVMIC THIS little palace on the Grand Canal known as the Ca' d'Oro^ is one of the most charming buildings in Venice. It is one of the most striking speci- mens of that Venetian architecture which is the result of so many different influences that you can find neither laws nor principles, and which, though often disconcerting, always charms, perhaps indeed because it is subject to neither laws nor principles and permits the eye to be fascinated idly by the harmony of the desig...n and the colour.
The history of the Ca' d'Oro is very obscure, at least its early history. It is thought that it received its name from the fact that its ornaments were originally gilded, traces of gilding being still found on the little lions that decorate the corners of the roof. Then others have attributed this ap- pellation to the admiring tribute of a people possessed of a lively and poetic imagination. It seems far more probable, however, that this palace was built by the Doro family, and that this, family becoming extinct in 1355 with Nicola Doro, condemned to death for having been concerned in Marino Faliero's conspiracy, popular tradition, ■ while preserving the name of the palace, changed the origin of the name.
