Step into the Venice of a bygone era with this exquisite catalog, "The Main Street of Venice: The Grand Canal in Italian Photographs from the Late 19th to Early 20th Century." Published to accompany a landmark exhibition at the Shchusev State Museum of Architecture, this volume showcases the Grand Canal—Venice's famed watery main street—through rare and never-before-published photographs.
Drawn from the museum's own collection, the images capture the city's iconic architecture and timeless atmosphere. They feature the work of legendary Italian photographers such as Alinari, Carlo Naja, Paolo Salviati, Giovanni Brogi, and James Anderson, alongside pieces by the renowned Alfred Stieglitz and other anonymous Italian artists.

Each photograph in the catalog is accompanied by detailed commentary on the depicted buildings. This is a unique visual journey for lovers of Venice, photography, and architectural history.
