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.

Description for this print from the original index page from the publication:
"On the left is the Palace named after the Strozzi, emigrants from Florence, later on the dwelling of the Svaiers, and of the Webers who here formed a precious collection of historic and artistic memorials, now lost."
