Venice from above

A great photographic campaign, truly stunning aerial views, to immerse yourself in the unique charm of Venice. The medieval masterpieces and the current colors of the lagoon contrast with the monumental Venice, where little remains of the Middle Ages but Renaissance and Baroque shine. The history of Venice starts from the extraordinary orography of the lagoon; a unique landscape in which, from the Late Antiquity, men got used to living and building.

Venice from the helicopter shows not only its unique shape, the canals, the foundations, the large neighborhoods, the monumental palaces, the churches, the urban theater, but also the most secret places in the city and islands. The aerial views allow us to read the urban physicality through the identification of margins and edges; instead of highlighting monuments and large volumes, they give us the immediate perception of voids, of imaginary geometries that separate and bring them closer, of infinite references between them. Imagining flying over Venice from different directions – from the mainland or from the sea – seven itineraries suggest routes to be discovered using sequences of images, identifying monuments and spaces/places without ever losing sight of the shape of the city.
