With this tour I will take you around Venice with some exceptional companions: the Vedutists, painters who in the 1700s immortalized the city. We will follow them to the places where they lurked in order to portray a Venice that at that time – contrary to what has been handed down by a certain 19th-century-oriented historiography – was industrious and rich and, in some respects, enjoyed a privileged position compared to other cities in Europe, thanks in part to the government’s neutrality policies, which were able to generate a long period of peace. With the help of a tablet, we will stroll through well-known and lesser-known places, discovering how they have changed over time both in terms of urban planning and customs; not only the buildings, but also the figures and boats that populate the views will give us a chance to discover the city then and the city now, and will also take us to get acquainted with these painters, with their almost photographic, yet sometimes surprisingly whimsical precision.
