Amy, The student might try the following book: Howard, Deborah. Venice & the East : the impact of the Islamic world on Venetian architecture, 1100-1500. New Haven [Conn.] : Yale University Press, c2000. LC subject heading: Architecture--Italy--Venice--Islamic influences. Art Abstracts, Avery Index to Architecture Periodicals should provide articles as well. We have a few other books, but they are in Italian.
