This is an original oil on a 20 x 30 canvas painted for a delightful,kind-hearted couple as a memory for their trip to Venice. The old, unique but typical Alley is a located on Parangon in Venice Italy. I lived in Germany for 11 years and visited this charming city, voted the most beautiful in the world. The streets and canals are fascinating along the with the culture and architecture.
Venice has a rich and diverse architectural style, the most prominent of which is the Gothic style. Venetian Gothic architecture is a term given to a Venetian building style combining use of the Gothic lancet arch with Byzantine and Ottoman influences. The style originated in 14th-century Venice, where the confluence of Byzantine style from Constantinople met Arab influence from Islamic Spain.
An interesting little fact is Canvases (the common painting surface) originated in Venice during the early Renaissance. These early canvases were generally rough.
In the 18th century, Venetian painting had a revival with Tiepolo's decorative painting and Canaletto's and Guardi's panoramic views.
The Trattoria on the left is an Italian-style eating establishment, less formal than a ristorante, but more formal than an osteria. There are generally no printed menus, the service is casual, wine is sold by the decanter rather than the bottle, prices are low, and the emphasis is on a steady clientele rather than on haute cuisine. The food is modest but plentiful (mostly following regional and local recipes) and in some instances is even served family-style (i.e. at common tables).

Trattorias that are faithful to this stereotype who have become fewer in the last 20 years and many have adopted some (or several) of the trappings of restaurants, with just one or two "concessions" to the old rustic and familiar style.
Optionally, trattoria food may be bought in containers for taking home. The word is cognate with the French word traiteur—meaning a caterer that only makes take-out food.
