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.
Description for this print from the original index page from the publication:
"This canal is rendered specially interesting by the ancient buildings which line it and by a wing of the Pesaro Palace, one of the most famous in Venice which, seen from this side, appears to be a colossal structure of Roman architecture."
