Sea-view apartment, Via Franca, San Vito

The 36 photographs in this listing are shots of the flat, the small terrace, the entrance and exterior of the building, the street and the views over the city and the gulf. 34 of the 36 photographs were processed by a generative image model (Google's Nano Banana family, used through the Higgsfield platform): 9 only for light and colour, 13 to remove objects, and 12 are simulations, which carry the label «AI · simulated» on the website; the other 2 did not go through artificial intelligence. Removed were: suitcases, bags, sacks and a backpack; cushions, the tablecloth, linen, mats and rolled-up rugs; the wall clock, decorative plates on the wall and the TV with its set-top box; the objects on the worktops, tables, desk and furniture, including a slicer, utensils, plants, ornaments, a lamp, papers and the books on a bookcase; toiletry bottles, a toilet-roll holder, a bin, a stool, bottles and a basket; boxes, frames, a sack and a black pole; on the small terrace a cloth over the railing, hanging sheets, a wooden disc, a bucket, a box, a hose, the dirt on the ledge and an overhead cable; at the entrance and outside the building the signs hanging next to a door, the CCTV sign, the lettering on a van and a scooter. In the simulations the model also added or invented: in 5 photos the sky has been changed or has clouds that are not in the shot; in one it widened the framing and invented the view from the windows; in one it drew the railing and the view that the cloth covered; by mistake it added a sheet of paper on the letterboxes, light strips on a wall, a wall light and a wooden clog hanging next to a window.

Where an object was removed, what it hid was not photographed: the model rebuilt it, in a plausible way. The model also changed fixed parts and erased or toned down defects that exist in reality, and we say so: it removed the Venetian blind above the kitchen window and made the open shelf at the end of the wall units look closed; it redrew the edge of a terrace, where the stained low wall, the gravel gutter and the hedge have become a clean planter with a trimmed hedge; it cleaned up the wall and sill of a balcony, which are stained and peeling, and the frame of a bathroom window with the wall beside it, which are blackened by mould; it erased the green damp stains on a wall; in 2 photos it erased or toned down the stains on the wallpaper. For the rest, in the part that was photographed, the views over the port, the city and the gulf (sky aside), the façades and the street, the rooms with their furniture, the floors, doors and windows, the kitchen, the sanitaryware, bathtub and tiling of the bathroom, the staircase and the masonry hood on the small terrace are as in the shot.

Light and colour were corrected as in a normal photo retouch. The original, unmodified photographs are available on request; a viewing remains the only reference for the actual condition of the property.
