Venice: A Private Invitation
Giol Servane and Mattia Aquila
Organized around the rich materials and textures of the city’s densely woven fabric of history and celebrating the artisan’s skill at every turn, this visually stunning love letter to the secret beauties of Venice, captured by photographer Mattia Aquila, is both a revelation and unique reminder to all those who wish to recall the golden iridescent silence of their first sight of the mythical city that floats between sky and sea.
Servane Giol lives with her family in the fourteenth-century Palazzo Falier. A resident of Venice for more than twenty years, she is the author of the guidebook The Soul of Venice (2020).
Mattia Aquila is a photographer specialized in interior design and architecture. His work appears regularly in magazines including AD Italia and Archiplan.
