A visit to Venice
When Rebecca Woollard went to Venice, in 2016, it was her first time visiting. She fell in love with not only the beauty of the city, but also the magic that is the Rialto Market.
Photographer Gareth Morgans captured the vibrance and character of this busy Italian market – take a long look at the produce that steals the hearts of tourists and locals alike.

Twisting, turning maze-like streets laden with shops and market stalls. Venice may be one of the easiest, and most beautiful, places to get lost.
Globe artichokes show off their royal purple and grass-green layers, catching the eyes of hungry market-goers.
Stalls heave with an abundance of fresh produce. Glossy aubergines, fragrant tomatoes, firm green asparagus spears and baby courgettes, sporting delicate yellow-green flowers, are the makings of a fresh and flavoursome feast.

A tourist leans over an over-laden table, of freshly-caught seafood, to take a picture of the jewels of the Mediterranean ocean. An attempt to remember the sights, sounds and smells of the market.
Still wet, from being plucked out of the ocean early that morning, these scallop shells shimmer in the sunlight. They’re so fresh you can almost taste the sea.
A gondolier is caught deep in thought. Perhaps he too is thinking about what to have for lunch.
