EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photo print, titled "MFC-S-001600-0050" captures the essence of a bygone era in Venice. Taken between 1890 and 1895 by Ferdinando Ongania, it showcases a picturesque scene that epitomizes the city's rich maritime history. In the foreground, we see a squero, which is a traditional shipyard dedicated to crafting Venetian vessels. This particular squero serves as the focal point of the image, emanating an air of craftsmanship and nautical expertise. The street lamp nearby adds an urban touch to this otherwise serene setting. The surrounding architecture exudes timeless charm with its bell tower and decorative building elements. These structures not only provide shelter but also contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of this quaint village nestled along a canal. A small boat gracefully glides through the waterway, showcasing both naval and river transportation methods prevalent during that period. Meanwhile, in the distance, sailboats dotting the horizon add further depth to this view of Venetian countryside. Capturing everyday life in action, this photograph offers glimpses into street scenes where locals go about their daily routines. The furnishings for civic spaces can be seen adorning houses along these charming streets—a testament to how furniture and decorations were integral parts of Venetian culture at that time. It's important to note that this print should not be associated with any commercial use or mention any specific company. Instead, let us appreciate it as an exquisite piece of artistry from Alinari—an invaluable window into Venice's past that invites us on a journey through time itself.
