#Veneziaperimmagini Citizens and tourists illustrate Venice through their pictures
Launched at the end of 2018, Venezia per Immagini is the daily photo column of the Municipality of Venice. A visual account of the city's landscapes, but also a successful experiment in street photography. It is a collection of urban photos made up of contributions sent in day after day by its inhabitants, but also by tourists and anyone passing through the lagoon capital who wants to immortalise it in order to take it with them as a souvenir and, indeed, share it.
For more than three years the project, conceived by the City's Press Office to involve the population, has been paying homage to the landscapes of Venice, but also of the mainland and the lagoon islands, composing a sort of collective online diary of Venetian memories. The photos, sent to the social@comune.venezia.it mailbox, are selected by the social media team and published twice a day, at the beginning and end of the day (at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.) on the City's social profiles: Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Here they receive hundreds of likes, comments and shares, testifying to the enthusiasm and active participation of users.
Over time, thousands of snapshots, taken with professional cameras or simply with smartphones, have been sent to the dedicated email address. Among the shots, not only the most characteristic and usual views of Venetian alleys, squares and bridges, but also details of lesser-known corners of the historic centre, breath-taking sunsets, photos taken on board ferries and gondolas, from drones or from the typical city roof terraces. There is no limit to the imagination of those who, having lived in Venice for years or only admired it in passing, want to show their personal point of view on Venice. The images often come from abroad: France, Spain, Germany and the United States.
Given the success of the initiative, the column continues: to participate, all you have to do is send your photos to social@comune.venezia.it and authorise the Municipality to publish them by signing the attached release form.
