The most beautiful waterway in the world in a single – and very long – photograph.
The Venice Canal Grande app, with its high-definition, professional images, is a new way of exploring the 3 km route that winds through the city.
The most illustrious Venetian families built over 300 splendid palazzi along the canal, in architectural styles that span almost a millennium: from the gothic of Palazzo Cavalli Franchetti to the baroque of Ca’ Rezzonico. Contemporary style is represented by the Ponte della Costituzione, the bridge designed by the architect Santiago Calatrava.
The app is made up of a single image divided into two parts: the left bank and the right bank of the canal. The work, by the photographer Daniele Resini, took three years to complete and consisted of on-site photography, assembly of the sequence from thousands of shots, perspective correction to offset the curves of the Grand Canal, digital image manipulation to even out the diverse lighting conditions and water levels, and to remove boats, jetties and waterbus stops.
This allows the most important buildings of the city to be be admired in their entirety as the viewer ‘glides along the canal’ from Piazzale Roma to the Punta della Dogana, or from Saint Mark’s to the rail station. Alternatively, the interactive map can be used to go directly to a particular segment of the canal.
