Prison cell
by GALLIMBERTI, Francesco, Engraving
This engraving was executed by Giovanni De Pian ((1764-1800) from a series of drawings by Francesco Gallimberti. These drawing illustrate conditions in the Palazzo Ducale cells. Known as ‘pozzi’ (wells) because they were below the water line, they were demolished by the provisional government of Venice on 25 May 1797.
