Venice is dying. The ongoing exodus of inhabitants is In stark contrast with the image that is shown to the rest of the world is akin to the cover of an advertising brochure,and does not reflect the soul of a place that is certainly no Disneyland. During the past four years I have been exploring in depth Venice, my home city, and I took many unusual pictures of it. I have started up a street photography project called: The Invisible City. Through my photographs, I strive to show the true essence and soul of Venice, unseen to those visiting it.
