Venice in Silence / Venezia nel Silenzio

Gaby Wagner, author of this publication photographed Venice’s overwhelming beauty throughout the lockdown in Italy. The images show the liquid mirror of the canals, the glorious vision of architectural perfection and the colors enhanced by the incredible sun and deep blue sky .

When news of the coronavirus arrived, the lockdown came fast to Italy. The figures were scary and the disaster bigger every day. But it also became a rare opportunity to truly see and share this magical city .

“At night, walking alone through the narrow streets hearing only the sound of my footsteps in this overwhelming silence, was so mysterious and  out of another world. It has been a tremendous privilege to live in the emptyness, free of human beings, with all this beauty around and all to myself. It was the most incredible expirience of my life and the images and feelings will stay with me forever, hoping sincerely you will have the impression you have been there with me.”- Gaby Wagner
