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 Palazzo Grimani di San Luca is a Renaissance building in Venice. The palace was built in the mid-16th century for procurator Gerolamo Grimani and was the residence of the Grimani family until 1806. Palazzo Grimani is currently the seat of the Venice Appeal Court.
