“It almost never snows here,” the waiter had said on a cold winter evening. By morning, to the surprise of even the locals, Venice was covered by a thick layer of snow, transforming the city into an urban landscape shrouded in white and adding an even greater dazzling and poetic look to the enchanting city. This series shows a Venice that is rarely seen. Contrary to the bustling and crowded days of summer, the photo essay captures nearly deserted streets, white with snow, and with only a handful of locals. Just as the snowflakes never stopped falling that day, neither did the pulse of the city stop beating. Life went on, and the locals continued to go about their lives even in the midst of a snowy, winter day.
