Münster in January 1871, he was embarking on the last great Venetian editorial enterprise. The antiquarian bookseller supplied a prestigious clientele, including such scholars and bibliophiles as John Ruskin and J.P. Morgan; but his own personal tribute to Venice was the printing of works of amazing quality, such as the Basilica of St. Mark (45 chromolithographs, 422 heliotypes, 132 engravings in 16 volumes), and the reprinting in deluxe editions of such masterpieces as the Grimani breviary, and Etchings by Tiepolo. The undertaking linked to the name of Ongania that is best remembered today is Calli e Canali in Venezia, Alleys and Canals in Venice. This is a series of 200 photographs of late-nineteenth century Venice, brillantly reproduced using the technique of héliogravure and contained in two portfolios. Calli e Canali in Venezia is the last testimony to a Venice that no longer exists, one overflowing with life at every corner, with waterscapes silently crossed by gondolas and rowing-boats. A splendid but sober Venice, one as yet untouched by tourism and the industrial experiments of the twentieth century: the Venice of boats with cabins, elegant ladies with parasols, and women with draped headdresses.
