DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luchino Visconti Italy

His film 'Senso' is set in 1866 Venice and captures the city's decay and romantic atmosphere with operatic intensity.

 Federico Fellini Italy

Though not exclusively focused on 18th century Venice, his films obsessively explore Venetian decadence, masquerade, and the city's phantasmagoric character.

 Nicolas Roeg United Kingdom

His masterpiece 'Don't Look Now' uses contemporary Venice to evoke the city's historical layers of mystery, death, and timeless sensuality.
