Many thanks to adele for the beautiful texture :-)

 

The "Stucky Mill" is one of the most famous and symbolic buildings in Venice.

Built at the end of 1800, it employed 1500 workers, producing about 2500 hundred kilograms flour every day.

It definitely closed in 1955, after a long period of crisis and a very strong industrial action: 500 workers occupied the buildings for one mounth.
