The Pier towards the Zecca with the column of Saint Theodore

CanalettoBefore 1742

The entry of Canaletto
  into the collection, which took place by purchase only in 1995, signified an
  undoubted qualitative change for the civic collection of Pinacoteca del
  Castello, expanding the range of Venetian painting with some very important
  examples. Among the numerous views of Venice, in this particular canvas a
  happy narrative synthesis is achieved between the famous architectural scenes
  and the representation of ordinary people engaged in their daily activities.
