Having previously had a daguerreotype studio in Eastern Europe, Carlo 
Naya opened a photography studio in Venice in 1857 and quickly became 
known for his photos of the city and its architecture. He collaborated 
with other photographers to produce an album of views of Venice in 1866 
when the Venetian Republic was annexed to Italy. He died in Venice in 
1882, but his works continued to be sold after his death from a shop in 
St. Marks Square, and his studio continued to operate in Campo S. 
Maurizio, Venice. (#019050)        $8,500.00
