The Riva Schiavoni from on board the Orient Line cruise ship Orion (1935) moored in San Marco Basin at Venice, Italy. The photographer is on the port side of the promenade deck aft looking forward and to port showing passengers and crew members looking shorewards from the ship's rail. On the left is the Ponti de la Pieta and the columned front of the Chiesa Santa Maria della Pieta. A number of passenger ferries and two steam tugs are alongside the waterfront.
