EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Leiss Ferruccio, we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Venice in approximately 1945. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene filled with pigeons gracefully perched on various architectural elements throughout the city. As our eyes wander through the frame, we notice these elegant birds scattered across buildings and staircases, creating an enchanting contrast against the backdrop of Venetian architecture. The pigeons seem to have claimed their territory amidst this urban landscape, adding a touch of nature's beauty to the man-made structures. Amidst this avian spectacle, one particular pigeon catches our attention as it takes flight from a staircase railing. Its wings spread wide open against the backdrop of an overcoat-clad gentleman walking down the avenue. This fleeting moment captures both movement and stillness simultaneously - a testament to Ferruccio's impeccable timing behind the lens. The composition also offers us glimpses into daily life in Venice during that era. We catch sight of pedestrians strolling along cobblestone streets, seemingly unfazed by their feathery companions above them. The view extends beyond just pigeons; it provides us with a snapshot of street scenes and architectural details that make Venice so unique. Ferruccio's skillful capture not only immortalizes these charming creatures but also transports us back in time to experience a slice of history frozen within this single frame. Through his lens, we witness how nature effortlessly intertwines itself with human existence in one harmonious dance within the heart of Venice. This print is not just an exquisite piece capturing wildlife; it is also an ode to timeless elegance and serendipitous moments found amidst everyday life in one of Italy's most iconic cities – Venice
