EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by the talented photographer Leiss Ferruccio, we are transported back in time to Venice circa 1955. The photograph showcases a group of dedicated men diligently working on a Venetian squero, a traditional boatyard unique to the enchanting city. The composition beautifully captures the essence of their laborious task as they meticulously craft and shape the wooden vessel. With focused expressions etched upon their faces, these skilled craftsmen skillfully carve away at the boat's structure, ensuring its seaworthiness for future voyages through Venice's intricate waterways. Set against a picturesque backdrop of shimmering waters and charming buildings that define Venice's skyline, this image offers us an intimate glimpse into both the workmanship involved in constructing these iconic boats and the breathtaking views that surround them. The small boat being worked on serves not only as an object but also as a symbol of transportation - a lifeline connecting Venetians with their beloved city. It represents centuries-old traditions passed down from generation to generation, reflecting both pride in craftsmanship and reverence for history. Ferruccio's masterful capture allows us to appreciate every detail within this scene: from weathered tools scattered around the workspace to worn-out aprons donned by these hardworking artisans. Their dedication is palpable; it speaks volumes about their commitment to preserving Venetian culture while adapting it for modern times. This evocative photograph transports us back in time, offering an immersive experience into one of Venice's most cherished trades. It reminds us of how artistry can be found even within everyday tasks when passion meets tradition – forever immortalized through Ferruccio’s lens.
