LORENZO VITALI
Vanishing Venice

Different styles coexist in the architecture of this seductive city: Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque. The foggy atmosphere that reigns there leads us to observe how the initial stylistic identity often fades, through conservative stratification, into other forms, changing the original features of the architecture and defining new identities. The “Reappearing Venice” project chooses buildings portrayed with an unusual perspective and chromatic tones as subjects, chosen regardless of the richness of the materials or their importance from a historical and monumental point of view. Ancient palaces and modest houses, shrouded in a thin fog, coexist in a single harmonious and vital whole. The photographic language suggests a fluid, ecstatic and fleeting vision. In this unrepeatable city, where places and perspectives seem infinite, you have the sensation of being nowhere else but in Venice.
