A photographer has filmed ‘historical’ images of a semi-deserted Venice with only a handful of people walking the streets amid COVID-19 scare.

On February 29, dentist and hobbyist photographer Paride Zappavigna, 58, filmed some astounding footage of the half-empty streets of the popular destination city, as fears over coronavirus drew tourists away from its attractions.

Paride said he lived most of his life in Venice and wanted to document a ‘historical moment that had no precedents’.

He filmed the silent squares, streets and canals, populated mostly local people, pigeons, cats and the occasional face mask-wearing visitor.
