Ferdinando Ongania [1842 - 1911] was an Italian antiquarian book seller,with a shop in St.Mark's Square,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,but Calli E Canali in Venezia [ Streets and Canals in Venice ] was surely his masterpiece.

Description for this print from the original index page from the publication: On the right is the Zen palac, from designs by Sebastiano Serlio.
