Viewing Notes:

"Starting with gondoliers sleeping in St. Mark's Square and locals chatting. Cargo boats unload at the fruit and vegetable market. Tourist crowds sightseeing at the campanile and the various bridges. Lunch breaks. The Grand Canal. Funeral boat. Swimming and sailing off the Lido beach and pier. Still and cine photographers at work. Finally, picturesque long shadows at sunset and gondolas at rest as evening falls’ (EAFA Database)."
