Note du spécialiste

These interesting views represents two of the numerous islands of the Venetian Lagoon. The harbor of Malamocco was the first, and for a long time the only, settlement on the island of Lido, a barrier island south-east of Venice. The Lazzaretto Vecchio is a small island, not far from the Lido, that takes its name from a hospital that from the 15th to the 17th Centuries housed sick people during plague epidemics.
