The Fondazione is also a place of photography: a centre of photographic documentation about Venice in particular and the study of the history of photography. Its photographic collections are a history of the world and of perhaps the most depicted city in the world. Approximately 2,800,000 ‘digital objects’ entered the collections between 2017 and 2021 thanks to three important donations: the Graziano Arici archive, the Luigi Ferrigno archive and the Mark Smith archive. Added to these are the Fondo Luigi Ghirri [Luigi Ghirri Archival Collection] and the Querini Archival Collection. To consult the photographic archives, write to: biblioteca@querinistampalia.org
