EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in history - the foundation of Venice by refugees fleeing from the barbarian hordes of Attila the Hun in the 5th century. The drawing, taken from Franco Mistrali's "I misteri del vaticano" published in 1846, showcases the resilience and determination of these hunted individuals as they lay down the very roots of one of Italy's most iconic cities. In this image, we witness a scene filled with human labor and architectural ambition. Carpenters and workers toil away on a construction site, diligently installing the foundations that would eventually give rise to Venice. Their efforts symbolize not only their own survival but also their desire to create something enduring amidst chaos. The view captured here offers a glimpse into what would become an enchanting city known for its canals, bridges, and stunning architecture. It transports us back to the Middle Ages when Venetie was emerging as a bustling hub of trade and culture. Through this photograph, we are reminded of both the hardships faced by those who sought refuge from Attila's wrath and their incredible ability to transform adversity into beauty. This piece serves as a testament to human resilience throughout history while highlighting Venice's rich heritage rooted in triumph over adversity.
