EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this remarkable photo print, MFC-S-001600-0070 by Ferdinando Ongania from Alinari. Dated around 1880-1894, it offers a captivating view of a picturesque Venetian calle. The scene unfolds before your eyes, transporting you to an era where gondolas glided gracefully through the city's enchanting waterways. In the foreground, a charming bridge takes center stage as several men engage in animated conversation. Their presence adds a touch of liveliness to this tranquil setting. Just below the bridge, we witness a man skillfully maneuvering his gondola towards an elegant palace – a testament to Venice's unique mode of transportation and its seamless integration with everyday life. The facade of the building bears witness to history itself; adorned with the sign of 'All'Altanella', an enduring trattoria that still exists today. Its terrace extends outward, providing patrons with breathtaking views while they savor delectable cuisine and immerse themselves in Venetian culture. As our gaze wanders upwards, we notice various objects hanging on the terrace – a chasuble, thurible, and pots suspended mid-air like fragments frozen in time. These intriguing details hint at daily rituals or perhaps even remnants from past celebrations held within these walls. Ongania's expert composition effortlessly captures not only architectural beauty but also human interactions and glimpses into ordinary moments that make up Venetian life. This image is more than just an exquisite snapshot; it serves as a portal connecting us to generations long gone yet forever preserved within its frame. Immerse yourself in this mesmerizing depiction of Venice - let your imagination wander through its winding streets and feel the echoes of history whispering through every canal.
