The work explores life in 18th-century Venice, focusing on the artistic pursuits and lives of two young men, Vittore Valdrigo and Antonio Canova, who journey to the city with dreams of artistic fame and success. The book vividly captures the social customs, artistic aspirations, and picturesque scenery of that era, immersing readers in the vibrant atmosphere of Venice. The opening of the narrative sets the stage in the 18th century, contrasting the bustling, artistic world of Venice with the simpler life of the countryside.

As they travel, they are filled with excitement and dreams of pursuing their art. The text contrasts their youthful enthusiasm with detailed observations of the surroundings, painting a picture of Venice's allure and its resonance within the artistic community.
