What reading level is Life On the Lagoons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These foundations were in themselves defective, and were rendered weaker by the liquefaction of their clay bed. Some attempt had been made to fortify them by placing blocks of stone along them laterally, but of course without effect; and here the most serious part of the settlement took place. Third, the great fire of 1577 calcined the stones and injured the beams which formed the roof of the upper loggia and the floor of the Maggior Consiglio above. The heads of these beams had already suffere...d by the infiltration of water, and were rotten, more especially the great larch beam at point D, which carried over the upper loggia the tressa del ParadisOy the eastern wall of the Sala del Maggior Consiglio, for which Tintoret had painted his * Paradise.* The restorations recently effected have been as follows. The foundations of the ancient wall from A to A have been taken out, bit by bit, and new foundations put in until the more recent foundations and the firmer bottom was reached. Da Ponte's disfiguring arch was taken down, and in doing so the bases and capitals of two little columns were discovered.
