EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the enchanting streets of Venice, Italy. The image showcases a lantern outside a charming restaurant in the historic center of the city, known as Centro Storico. The lantern is beautifully inscribed with the words "ai lupi" which translates to "to the wolves" in Italian. The inscription holds a deeper meaning that harkens back to Dante Alighieri's renowned literary work, Inferno. In this epic poem, Dante uses wolves as a metaphor for greed and corruption. This reference adds an intriguing layer of symbolism to the scene, inviting viewers to ponder upon its significance. Illuminated against the backdrop of Venice's timeless architecture and winding canals, this photograph captures both the allure and mystery that permeate through every corner of this European gem. It encapsulates not only Venetian culture but also echoes Italy's rich history and artistic legacy. Photographer John Dakers skillfully captures this moment, showcasing his keen eye for detail and composition. Through his lens, we are transported into a world where centuries-old traditions blend seamlessly with modernity. Whether you have visited Venice or dreamt about exploring its labyrinthine streets someday, this print serves as a visual reminder of its unique charm and cultural significance. Display it proudly on your wall or desk as an invitation to embark on your own journey through La Serenissima – The Most Serene Republic – that is Venice.
