San Pietro di Castello, Venice.

This nondescript church used to be the city’s cathedral from mid-15th to the early 19th century. The centrally located San Marco basilica was technically the private chapel of the doge, and only became a cathedral after Napoleon conquered and dismantled the independent Venetian state.
San Pietro di Castello is located on a little island near the industrial district of Arsenale, about as far away from the government nexus at San Marco and the commercial hub of Rialto as you can get while still being in Venice, and is is fairly sparsely decorated by Venetian standards. Which makes it an interesting testament to the power of the Venetian State and the limited power Rome had in these parts.

View from Torcello, Venice.

The Venetian Lagoon has several peaceful islands with rural feel, but beyond them, on the shores, lies a modern industrial city, bringing life and prosperity to the city.

The gates of the MOSE system, Venice.

Located at the entrances to the lagoon, these gates, when raised, protect the city from the floods.

Mazzorbo, Venice.

Next to urban Burano and historic Torcello, Mazzorbo is a peaceful island with almost rural feel to it.

Burano, Venice.

The famous leaning campanile on Burano was in scaffolds, which from certain angles made it easier to see how much it is actually leaning. Also note the boat crane on the left of first image and the anchored ships in the background of the second. Despite being touristy at its core, Venice is still a working city.

Burano, Venice.

Most cities have a fairly limited color palette, dominated by the same few subdued colors. That is why places like Burano literally explode with color.
