EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "FVQ-F-140833-0000" captured by Carlo Naya in the late 19th century, we are transported to the enchanting city of Venice. The image showcases a gondolier gracefully navigating through the serene waters of the Venetian lagoon, with the magnificent Bank of the Schiavoni standing proudly in the background. The architectural marvels of this historic building instantly draw our attention. Its grand structure and intricate details reflect centuries of rich history and cultural significance. The prominent bell tower adds a touch of Christian symbolism, reminding us of Venice's deep-rooted religious heritage. Amidst this urban landscape, we witness a gondolier diligently plying his trade. Dressed in traditional attire, he expertly maneuvers his gondola using an oar as both a tool for transportation and an object that symbolizes his vocation. This scene captures not only a momentary glimpse into everyday life but also serves as a testament to how integral these skilled individuals were to Venetian society. As we take in this breathtaking view, it becomes evident why Venice is often referred to as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The tranquil lagoons stretching out before us create an idyllic backdrop for both locals and visitors alike. Carlo Naya's masterful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this timeless snapshot from over a century ago—a reminder that despite changing times, some aspects remain constant: stunning architecture, bustling urban scenes intertwined with peaceful landscapes, and hardworking individuals contributing their skills to keep traditions alive. This remarkable photograph transports us back in time while simultaneously inviting contemplation on how much or little has changed since its capture between 1865-1875—an enduring testament to Venice's allure throughout history.
