This is the Grand Canal in Venice.
Giovanni Antonio Canaletto (1697 - 1768) was most famous for his outdoor paintings of Venice, though he certainly painted other cities. His paintings don't show any construction cranes, but in the modern world we would have to Photoshop them out. The feeling of boats everywhere amid elegant palaces with rounded or pointed windows you can capture with your camera. Perhaps some of the palazzi are the same.
Giovanni Antonio Canal (28 October 1697 – 19 April 1768) better known as Canaletto, Venetian.
