Ferdinando Ongania [1842 - 1911] was an Italian antiquarian book seller,with a shop in St. Mark's Square in Venice. From 1861 until his death in 1911 he devoted himself almost entirely to the printing of illustrated art books. His love of Venice inspired him to record the architecture of his beloved city.

The Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute is one of Venice's most recognizable buildings. The massive church sits on a narrow strip of land near the Grand Canal.
