Stephen Pouliot, one of our VHM Founding Board Members, just published an article about the history of notorious actress and cultural figure, Sarah Bernhardt, in Venice at founder Abbot Kinney's request. The Doge, always a strategic promoter, invited Ms. Bernhardt to perform when other theaters downtown had blackballed her for perceived indecency.
You can find the article in the March 2022 issue of local magazine, Venice Living, where our team has a recurring column called 'History of Venice' — or enjoy it right here on our blog, reprinted with the blessing of publisher, Carole Stein.
