Two traditional black gondolas are moored along the right bank.

The canal is lined with classic Venetian buildings featuring sun-bleached facades in shades of ochre and cream. There are characteristic details like:

Dark wooden shutters.

Small stone balconies with decorative railings.

Flower boxes with green foliage.

In the lower part of the frame, the rusted, ornate metal railing of the bridge provides a sense of depth, framing the view into the distance where another gondolier appears to be navigating further down the canal.
