Publisher's Synopsis
This immersive photobook invites readers on a two-day journey through Venice, beginning the moment the train arrives at the grand Santa Lucia Station. Each photograph captures the anticipation and excitement of stepping into a city that seems to float between reality and dreams. From that first glimpse of Venice's iconic canals, readers are swept through a vibrant visual narrative that celebrates the city's timeless allure and hidden treasures.
The journey starts at dawn, where light dances across the Grand Canal, revealing gondolas gently drifting alongside historic palaces. Moving from the bustling station to Venice's quieter alleys, the book captures both famous sites and intimate corners.

As the hours pass, the photobook invites readers deeper into the city's soul, capturing unexpected moments-a leisurely lunch in a small piazza, vibrant market stalls filled with fresh produce, and quiet churches that offer refuge from the lively streets. Hidden bridges and narrow passageways reveal new sights at every turn, each photo carefully framing Venice's mysterious beauty and charm.
By dusk, the city takes on a magical aura, with lights reflecting off the canals and casting a golden glow on ancient facades. The book concludes with serene night scenes, as the city settles under the moonlit sky, offering readers a final, unforgettable glimpse of Venice at rest.
