Ferdinando Ongania [1842 - 1911] was an Italian antiquarian bookseller, 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 Grand Canal and the Giudecca Canal merge into St Mark's Basin. The Campinile of the church of St Mark raises above the buildings.
