In Dreaming Venice , Italy's top photographer Fernando Bertuzzi projects a traditional and true image of Venice. His desire is to present a Venice that is as close to the detailed and precisely proportioned city as portrayed by artists such as Ponti, Naya and Canaletto. Bertuzzi strives to compose a faultlessly accurate, detailed atlas. He pays tribute to Venice with the skill of a craftsman through his carefully framed shots, painstaking composition of detail and obsessive pursuit of the right lighting. The goal of Dreaming Venice is to portray the city in all its aspects, traditional but not stereotyped, romantic, but not slovenly.
