Description

Award winning photograph presently showcased at the prominent Pizziera Ortica(awarded 2015 Best Italian Restauarant and Best Bar in Orange County) in Costa Mesa, Ca. The image of a lady on a motor boat following a gondola in Venice on Rio La Verona canal has the feel of a classic movie. The rhythm of Venice canals, they all run so smoothly with such amazing grace and synchronized harmony. You're not even aware of the traffic or the wide variety of sightseeing tourists. A very romantic 405 Fwy! Because most of the city's traffic goes along the Canal rather than across it, only one bridge crossed the canal until the 19th century, the Rialto Bridge. Most of the palaces emerge from water without pavement. Consequently, one can only tour past the fronts of the buildings on the grand canal by boat. The banks of the Grand Canal are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date from the 13th to the 18th century, and demonstrate the welfare and art created by the Republic of Venice. The noble Venetian families faced huge expenses to show off their richness in suitable palazzos; this contest reveals the citizens pride and the deep bond with the lagoon.
