Venice photographer shares intimate look at life in the floating city

Andrea Perotta, Venice-born photographer, offers a personal photographic look at Venice, Italy, blending iconic landmarks with hidden spaces many visitors overlook.
Revisiting neighbourhoods where he grew up, Perotta seeks to reconnect with the Venice he remembers from childhood and regularly returns to a quieter favourite spot.
Wandering without a plan, Perotta follows his photographic process, saying `When I see the light, that's the right moment`, and calls photography his big passion.
His images capture local traditions like gondoliers and Carnival while documenting changed relations between photographers and everyday Venetians, with Perotta noting `We don't have any problem about that. But sometimes we need to find some real Venetian life area.`
With the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics approaching, the story appears in the 'Journey to Italy' series ahead of the Opening Ceremony — Feb. 6, highlighting its immediacy next month.
