There are a total of one hundred and fifty photographs by Tomaso Filippi on show until 30 November 2013 at Villa Pisani in Stra near Venice. The extraordinary exhibition, "Venice from the 19th to the 20th century. In photographs by Tomaso Filippi", on show in one of the most beautiful venetian villas on the river Brenta, is further enriched by thirty stereoscopes – a technique for creating and viewing images with the illusion of three-dimensionality invented in 1832 which can be considered the precursor of 3D –that give the illusion of being “inside” Venice in the transition between the Nineteenth and the Twentieth century. The original photographic material produced by such an exceptionally public figure as Tomaso Filippi paints an extraordinary picture in terms of quality and originality of Venice and the surrounding area and bears witness to the rapid transformation which makes photography the perfect communication tool
