The recent Turner, Whistler, Monet exhibition at Tate Britain had a room dedicated to the work the three painters had done in Venice - follow the link below to the tate site. This might be another good source of inspiration, building on Mr Peters' notes about Canaletto.
Alternatively, a Google image search for "Turner+Venice" or "Monet+Venice" or "Whistler+Venice" produces lots of results.

Looking at the paintings on the Tate Britain link (I especially liked the bluey one by Monet) I was struck by the importance of water; after all Venice is known as "The Floating City". I'm not sure how it could be done, but it would be great to have some water element to the set. Perhaps minature canals built down the sides of the auditorium with miniature Gondolas...sorry flights of fantasy, but I'm quite serious. It would be very decadent!
