The dog with the necklace

During a Photo Tour in May, suddenly appeared this beautiful dog, right in front of the shop of my friend, and good craftsman, Pietro.

Photographing dogs in Venice is a delightful experience that captures the essence of this enchanting city. As you stroll along the narrow cobblestone streets and meander through the picturesque canals, you can't help but notice the charming presence of dogs, adding a touch of warmth and companionship to the vibrant Venetian backdrop.

Whether they are elegantly dressed in adorable outfits or casually enjoying the Venetian sun, these furry companions exude an irresistible charm that begs to be captured through the lens.

The Cannaregio district in Venice often offers these interesting photographic opportunities, and in this case the owner of the dog, very kind, agreed that we photograph it.

Street photography in Cannaregio

A remote little Campo in the Cannaregio district of Venice. I like the man reading the newspaper and the window with the flowers made in wood. There was another house like this one in Venice, behind the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, but unfortunately the flowers and the pinwheels are now disappeared.

Venice's Winter lagoon

A vaporetto on its way in the North Venice’s lagoon. Winter is one of the seasons I like the most because it allows to go everywhere and often you can take advantage of a foggy day, and get a particular atmosphere, very suitable for black and white. I took this picture with a Leica Q and, of course, its Summilux 28mm f1,7.

Fiora's house

Fiora is a charming lady who lives in an heritage palace of the 15th century. When I first step into her house I was amazed by the incredible amount of objects, paintings, tissues, sculptures, books. She knows very well the timing for best light in her house, so she invited me at noon. Since then we became friends and I payed a visit to her several times. Every time there is something new to discover in one of the many rooms of the palace.
