Product Description
Renaissance Venice had a convent on almost every corner, and nuns loomed large in the city's daily life. Far from being places of religious devotion, the convents were often little more than dumping-grounds for unmarried women from the upper ranks of Venetian society. Supported by their private incomes, the nuns ate, dressed and behaved as gentlewomen. They followed the latest fashions in hairstyles and footwear, kept lap-dogs, gave parties for their relatives, and schemed to influence the running of the city's affairs. In VIRGINS OF VENICE, Mary Laven creates a fascinating portrait of their hidden world
