All photographs taken by me in Venice in June 2020 In early June of twenty-twenty, almost exactly three years ago, and for the first time since that March, movement between Italian regions reopened. I had the great fortune to have a generous friend with an empty apartment (and super fast broadband) in Venice, and on 9 June 2020 Massimo and I went on the Frecciarossa to La Serenissima and had it almost entirely to ourselves. The five or so weeks, off and on, I subsequently spent exploring, and preparing and giving my online talks, between that summer and the following spring was one of the most notable silver linings of a very cloudy period.
Those photographs are stunning (I seem to say this every time I comment here!). The inky clouds on the first photo are painterly. The only time I've been to Venice was in mid-December several years ago, and it was atmospherically foggy - except the day we went to Torcello, when the weather was glorious and it felt like summer. Your photo instantly sent me back there, so thank you for the reminder of a very special trip.
