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.

Church of San Trovaso. The name comes from a contraction of Gervasio and Protasio, saints to whom the church is dedicated. The present building dates from the late sixteenth century and has a Palladian style. Inside, paintings by Tintoretto, Palma il Giovane and Giambono.
