PESCHERIA (excerpt 1): The activities of the fishermen at the fish market, with the arrival of the fishermen and the loading of fresh fish into the Venice market, specifically in the Campo della Pescheria, now known as the Rialto market. The scene includes the health inspection of the tuna: a man, armed with a large knife, checks and cuts the tuna to ensure its freshness and quality before it is sold. These sequences provide a detailed insight into the Venice fish market in the 1930s, highlighting the market's activity from fishing to shipping, and document the value and importance of fresh fish in a city that depended heavily on its trade.
