EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Jane di San Faustino, an American socialite and leader of Venice society, is pictured at the Lido with her beloved Sealyham Terrier. The year is 1926, and the setting is the stunning Venetian lagoon, with its shimmering waters reflecting the sun's rays and the iconic St. George's Basilica visible in the background. Jane's elegant appearance, with her chic hat and flowing dress, perfectly captures the glamour and sophistication of the era. However, it is her connection to the ancient world of Venice's aristocracy that makes this image so intriguing. Her husband, Marchese di San Faustino, was a member of one of the oldest and most distinguished families in Roman society. Their presence at the Lido, a popular destination for the international jet set, underscores the interconnectedness of the European elite during this time. The Sealyham Terrier, a breed known for its distinctive appearance and lively disposition, adds a playful touch to the scene. The terrier's keen gaze and alert posture suggest that it is fully engaged in the experience of being at the Lido, just as its owner is. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, when the glamour and allure of Venice drew the world's most prominent figures to its shores. Jane di San Faustino's presence at the Lido, accompanied by her loyal Sealyham Terrier, serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of this magical city and the timeless nature of its social scene.
