Even today, someone asks Uber why his Venice is so different in color from the valley landscapes, from the torrents and from Stiolo. To this question, Uber gives a single answer: “How each area has its own landscape, likewise it has a coloring. I see Venice with the colors of a shell”. She also does not believe that you are right? Think of the white marbles that garnish houses and buildings, the copper domes which oxidized over time have assumed that typical green color, the clouds so clear in an always blue sky and all this is reflected in the water creating precious reflections similar to those of the pearly interior of the most beautiful shells. This is for Uber the coloring of Venice with the sun.
