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: From this spot we see on the right the Old Procuratie and the Clock-Tower; on the left the Royal Palace; in front the Campanile and the Basilica of St. Mark.
