Board to Death TV reviews Masters of Venice. Felicia gives it 7, and Steve a 6 out of 10 and they summarize the game thusly.

What's Cool:
Nice Production Values.
Very strategic.
You can choose characters to play as.
Manny different ways to win victory points.

What's Not:
Really hard to teach new players.
The board is a little small.

Neutral Information:

Board to Death apologizes for the following mistakes in the video:
The Docks CAN be shared since they are touching the border of the board.
Rumor cards are NOT placed on the bidding round.
