As a city that seems to float between Europe and Asia, removed by a lagoon from the tempos of terra firma, Venice has long seduced the Western imagination. Since the 1797 fall of the Venetian Republic, fantasies about the sinking city have engendered an elaborate series of romantic clichés, provoking conflicting responses: some modern artists and intellectuals embrace the resistance to modernity manifest in Venice's labyrinthine premodern form and temporality, whereas others aspire to modernize by "killing the moonlight" of Venice, in the Futurists' notorious phrase. Spanning the history of literature, art, and architecture-from John Ruskin, Henry James, and Ezra Pound to Manfredo Tafuri, Italo Calvino, Jeanette Winterson, and Robert Coover-Killing the Moonlight tracks the pressures that modernity has placed on the legacy of romantic Venice, and the distinctive strains of aesthetic invention that resulted from the clash. In Venetian incarnations of modernism, the anachronistic urban fabric and vestigial sentiment that both the nation-state of Italy and the historical avant-garde would cast off become incompletely assimilated parts of the new. Killing the Moonlight brings Venice into the geography of modernity as a living city rather than a metaphor for death, and presents the archipelago as a crucible for those seeking to define and transgress the conceptual limits of modernism. In strategic detours from the capitals of modernity, the book redrafts the confines of modernist culture in both geographical and historical terms.

In The Anxieties of a Citizen Class: The Miracles of the True Cross of San Giovanni Evangelista, Venice 1370-1480 Kiril Petkov identifies the socio-psychological preoccupations accompanying the formation of the leading commoner group of early Renaissance Venice, the cittadini originarii , as revealed in a cycle of miracles performed by a fragment of the True Cross owned by the brotherhood of San Giovanni Evangelista. The study’s principal contention is that the miracles trace the evolution of the citizen elite from members of a large, fluid group of men of affairs to community managers to state servants. Each miracle highlights a stage of that process and the social anxieties engendered in the acquisition of a specific social identity.

In cinquant'anni di produzione scientifica, oltre alla realizzazione di una ventina di monografie, l'autore ha tenuto inediti o pubblicati in atti di convegni, riviste o collane diverse decine di saggi. In gran parte difficilmente reperibili, vengono ora riproposti, con pochi necessari ritocchi, 54 testi sulla storia delle Terre e Chiese venete, distribuiti in altrettanti capitoli. Affrontando la figura di san Marco evangelista, probabile primo missionario nel Nordest italiano, il patriarcato di Aquileia, alcune diocesi venete e la Chiesa veneziana, il panorama degli studi non si limita a esporre i fatti storici, ma si estende all'analisi dei testi, alle devozioni popolari, all'agiografia e alla storia della spiritualità. Dove gli argomenti si incrociano e si ripetono la grafica e l'apparato critico permettono una lettura comparata e selettiva.
