EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MFC-S-001456-0053" by Ferdinando Ongania takes us back to the enchanting city of Venice in the late 19th century. The image captures a picturesque scene of the Squero di Santa Maria, which was renowned as a typical shipyard for Venetian vessels. The composition showcases an array of fascinating elements that define this historical period. Nestled along the canal's edge, we see a charming house with unique architectural features that reflect the distinct Venetian style. Its elegant structure stands tall against the backdrop of other buildings lining the waterway, creating a harmonious blend of colors and textures. A group of male workers is portrayed in this photograph, standing proudly beside a small boat resting on wooden supports. Their presence adds life and character to the image, providing insight into their vital role in constructing these magnificent vessels that were essential for transportation along Venice's intricate network of canals and rivers. Intriguingly, amidst this bustling maritime setting lies a gondola gracefully gliding through calm waters. This iconic symbol epitomizes both beauty and functionality as it served as one of Venice's primary methods of transportation during that time. Ongania's masterful capture transports us back to an era where craftsmanship thrived alongside natural wonders. It allows us to appreciate not only the skill involved in building these majestic ships but also offers glimpses into everyday life within this vibrant city. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, we are reminded once again why Venice continues to captivate hearts worldwide with its timeless allure and rich cultural heritage.
