Photography by Giampaolo Agostinelli; edited and curated by Rosalba Giorcelli; preface by Luana Zanella, City Councillor for Cultural Production, Venice

A Bird’s-Eye View of Venice in a Unique Photo Book

“Try to imagine what it would be like to rise higher than the St. Mark’s steeple, which stands at almost 300 ft., and soar over the city: it is a breathtaking source of new discoveries. Flying at low altitude over Venice is a rareexperience and a tough job, but thanks to Giampaolo Agostinelli, an extraordinary photographer and aviator, we are afforded the rarest of opportunities to discover Venice and the lagoon from on high.”

-Luana Zanella, City Councillor for Cultural Production, Venice (from the preface)
