Carlo Naya (Italian, 1816 - 1882)
Carlo Naya studied law in Pisa before becoming a diplomat according to his father?s wishes. After his father?s death Naya embarked on a tour through Europe and Asia with his brother. During his stay in Paris in 1839 he was taught the daguerreotype process, which fascinated him. Naya settled in Venice in 1857, where he set up a photographic studio. For several years he collaborated closely with photographer Carlo Ponti but in 1868 he founded his own studio. During his long career, Naya photographed every aspect of the city of Venice. His views of the palaces on the Grand Canal, and his panoramas of the city give a complete picture of Venice?s architecture in the mid-nineteenth century.
