Stefano Graziani's photographic exploration of Venice and the Giudecca
Stefano Graziani's photographs capture Venice and the Giudecca island, intertwining personal memories with reflections on the city's changing geography. The article, written by Maria Luisa Frisa, describes a visit to artist Carolina Raquel Antich's studio on the Giudecca, where she is painting the lagoon for the first time. Frisa recalls living on the Giudecca, near the Casa dei Tre Oci, and observes the recent activation of the MOSE system at San Nicolò al Lido, which can separate Venice from the sea—a transformation as significant as the historical connection to the mainland. The piece is published in Artribune Magazine #58 and features Graziani's photography.
