That requires a translator, and the possibility of translation error. The point of the interview is communication, and I see why so many people interviewed choose to speak English instead of relying on a translation.
As someone who worked on the Island during the summer for years as a kid, I would absolutely support this suggestion. Holy Island is awesome. (Related claim to fame: I am the person who is responsible for selecting the name for the pub "The Ship" on Marygate. It was previously called The Northumberland Arms"!)
Seeing Civita on extremeties make me very proud. I've visited it many times, since I lived at less than an hour distance from it for most of my life. It truly is a jewel and when you first see it in person it takes your breath away. I'm glad that tourism increases, it truly deserves it. Near it there is a similar town (though admittedly less beautiful) which is called "Il borgo fantasma di Celleno" (Celleno's ghost village)

Sam, These are great, hope you continue adding to this channel. Been following extremities since you first released the Pitcairn podcast. I know you have a ton on your plate but would love to see you pick these back up. Hope all is well. Sincerely, Wendover fan since you explained how international airports work.
I find this particular case quite sad, rather than a wartime boom town or a medical colony that became outdated, this ancient place that has been continuously inhabited and seen the births, lifes, and deaths of so many is being swallowed by nature and time itself.
A suggestion regarding the subtitles. Next time maybe you could try using yellow font colour and an edge (like drop shadow), because even with the translucent window there's difficulty trying to read them like around 2:55 . Anyway, great video as always! Keep up with the good work 😉
Soft caption display is controlled in your device settings on mobile, or directly in the video frame in a browser. You should be able to play around with some settings to see what works best for you.
@Buhs I see what's up; the translucent window seems to not be opaque enough and not have enough contrast with the text. The text itself is also not an ideal typeface for reading rapidly.
just have interviewees speak their native language and get translation either from them or from someone else, you're putting subtitles anyway since it's difficult to even tell what they're saying
5:00 ''The Romans replaced the architecture with their own Renaissance style''. I had no clue the Etruscans were only assimilated into Roman culture around the end of the 15th century. Besides this minor error it is actually a great video.
Yeah, that threw me off aswell. As someone, who studied ancient Italian history, I was quite happy with his short description of the Etruscans, but "Rennaissance style" is more than a millennia off.
@@luisricardolozadaamaya670 Definitely not. The Etruscans, as a people, were formally absorbed into Rome in 27 BCE as part of the establishment of the Empire, by which point it was largely a formality. Etruscans were granted Roman citizenship as far back as 90 BCE (a thing Rome tended not to do with its extended territories), and the Roman conquest of their lands dates back to 264 or 265 BCE, which is about when Roman architecture would have started to take hold.
I hope it gets on the Unesco list! This beautiful place is in dire need of preservation for the future, and that will take an enormous amount of carefully done work and money.
I hope you could look into some of the Arctic towns of Greenland. I am applying to a geological research opportunity on a remote island near Sisimiut next summer and have learnt quite a bit about the isolation it would entail.
I'm happy I was able to experience this town before the great Tourist rush. Back then the Cats where running the town and you where more or less alone on the streets.
Wonderful topic and script as always. But... is it just me, or did you speak too fast for most of it, compared to the usual pace? I understand UA-cam's time shoehorning, but still, the relaxed commentary style and the emphatic pauses are something I've grown to love.
I always play his videos at 1.25 speed. Often he is like Why. One. of the. Italy's, Most. Visited, Places, Is, Dying... This is over dramatic, and often feels like an attempt to artificially lengthen the video and disconnects me from the topic. Don't get me wrong, I love his content, I love his logistics and trains, wendover, hai and extremities. But, 1.25 is my preference for that commentary style.
Hey, I wanna say thanks for making a video about a village in my Country. I've been following your channels for years and I've possibly seen about 95% of your videos. So, please, take what I'm about to say as constructive criticism and not as hate: seeing how thorough you researched Civita di Bagnoregio, it struck me kinda negatively that you didn't bother to take a couple minute to practice how to pronounce its name. You even have Luca saying "Cìvita" a number of times in your interview, and yet you pronounced it "Civìta". As for "Bagnoregio", in Italian the "gn" sound is equivalent to the spanish "ñ", and the "gi/gio/gia/ge" sounds are equivalent to the English hard "j", or "dj" . So it's more "Cìvita di Bañoredjo" than "Cheveeta dee Bagh noh regh yo". I hope I wasn't too pedantic, sorry if I was.
I don't know if you meant it, but that was actually a really excellent, concise breakdown of a bit of Italian orthography aimed at English speakers. As an amateur linguist, I hate when language learning material dumbs down explanations of pronunciation. If I'm studying a language, I want to learn it on its own terms, not have it mutilated to make it easier for me. Grazie mille!
Not pedantic at all, though I will point out that mispronouncing places is a staple of Wendover videos. He mispronounces most English place names too. I think it's endearing.
@@vojvodd - si ok, ma qui il tizio allude a città distrutte ( e forse con malizia e insinuazione). Quanto a Venezia non mi pare possa ospitare multinazionali del terziario o dei servizi, ancora meno un complesso produttivo industriale di grandi dimensioni... Cosa resta? Il turismo. Più sono alte le affluenze, più alti sono i volumi di denaro. Conservare e mantenere una città come Venezia e dispendioso, non è uno scherzo e non so nemmeno se può essere paragonato a quello di altre città. Mi pare non ci sia scelta.
1:14 "In the Piazza, pigeons outnumber people, as they quietly peck around for crumbs, while The Sun starts too warm the air" I love this sentence! It starts with a mental image from Hitchcocks "Bird is the Word" and transitions quickly to a zombie movie, with people pecking each other for crumbs. Or eyes, or brains or whatever pigeons feed zombies. It then ends with a mediocre british "news"paper trying to start a dumpster fire. How romantic, can't wait for the zombies to take over. Or did I misunderstand something?
I can just imagine Sam saying, with his usual dry delivery, "Making a youtube channel entirely dedicated to remote locations around the world seems like a great idea until you realize, that, there are only so many remote locations around the world".
I'm not Italian and don't speak the language, but I do have some knowledge of Italian pronunciation and my ears were bleeding with "tchee-VEE-tah" (even though there was that Italian man pronouncing it correctly as "TCHEE-vee-tah", yet the narrator didn't get a clue from that). And "BAGG-no-re-gio" made me want to ask him if he says "filet MIGG-non" too...
@@alessandromecchia2561, oh yes. I once had a British English teacher who made a joke about an Italian tourist in London complaining to the hotel manager that "there is no sheet in my room" (you can imagine what was heard...). That would be totally politically incorrect today, but those were other times and this was considered innocent. He once gave us a tour of English accents (both native and foreign) that was really impressive, I never forgot it.
No wonder. i never find your contain channel. Some how, i follow this channel. but, it's never alert me TT. Anyway, thank you for good contain and new knowledge that i can gain every episode :D. Keep up the good work.
Your content is top notch. Just wanted to say that at one point you showed a graph where the population of Italy was around 43million, while the actual number is estimated to be about 60million. That was a little off but again, your content is great. Thank you.
It didn't showed, it showed how in 50 or 100 years Italy's population could return at when it was in the interwar period, meaning a loss of 20 million inhabitants
My wife and I actually went here as one of our stops for our trip to Italy. I thought it was a really cool place with a unique landscape. The bus schedules to get from the train station was somewhat hard to find online though.
It is not a town, it is a village, yes maybe it once was a town, but even if all houses were filled with people, it would still be just a village so the thigs that are missing would also be missing in most villages, basically no village of 200 people has all these things a city needs
A part of me just wishes I could legitimately live in a place like that. Not the way it is now of course, with all the tourism and everything, but if it was an actual functioning village with that type of old medieval structures and everything, it's beautiful. Sometimes I just get this urge to escape "modernity", even if I know I probably wouldn't be able to do it because I'm too dependant on modern technologies like the internet, but it's definitely a deep urge inside of me. Somehow makes me feel nostalgic even if I never lived in a place like that, maybe because of my ancestry? I don't know.
In the places that are actually like that - functional villages and city centres of old school architecture - there's often at least a degree of modern technology. The core structure of the buildings are protected by heritage laws, but in many European countries, that doesn't mean the can't do things like run electricity and cable underground and wire up people's houses and such so they can benefit from the wonders of the modern world. Here in North America, we seem to feel the need for continually tearing down our old buildings to produce new ones, but in Europe, it seems like the standard is to preserve and reuse the old. How "rustic" the resulting experience is varies a lot. Often the interior of the structure is completely redone in a modern-ish style, which makes plumbing and electricity easier since the interior walls are built to modern practices and have space for such infrastructure. You only ever really preserve what's inside if you're curating a museum experience, but sometimes that's just that you add modern amenities and furniture to an already existing building.
Most every large town to small city in Europe is more beautiful and more human-friendly than any place in the Americas. I literally cannot imagine living a happy life anywhere near a strip mall…so anywhere in America outside a few very specific places where climate, activities, and cultural venues make up for a devastated quality of life (e.g. Miami, Denver, San Diego).
I mean. I love your videos, I love all your channels. Been a follower of Wendover Productions for years. But the fact that you literally mispronounced the name of the very place the whole video is about... I felt quite sad about that. Apart from this, the video was really good, great quality as always.
I think the videos were too long and too slow. I am extremly interested in places as discussed on this channel, i even seek them out myself on google maps sometimes, and anyway its hard for me to keeping focus on the video.
What an absolutely gorgeous piece of history. The only wish it had been preserved many centuries ago, what was lost will never come back. And that really sad.
Very interesting of course, but really not what I expect from Extremities tbh! I wish we could have the previous podcast format back, but on youtube, it was so much more immersive!!
You could have tried to pronouce properly the names of the towns. I mean, you spoke with an Italian guy. Other than that it was a very interesting video
It's not, it just stands in the same place the original Etruscan gate would have been, which had been dug through the rock in that same position. There's a few historical mistakes in this video it seems, such as saying that the "romans" rebuilt the town in a "renassaince style", when the renaissance was about 1100 odd years after the fall of the western roman empire. I'm a little surprised, not sure if the video is just worded in a confusing way or if the mistakes are genuine
I thought this was about the hilltop town pictured in the new James Bond movie at first, given the timing of the video. It's actually a different town (Matera), but now I can appreciate the history of these Italian villages even more!
thanks for trying hard to pronounce italian names, we know it's hard. Regarding "Civita", the accent goes on the first "i", so it's "CHIH-vih-tah" Interesting video also for italians
Very interesting, very sad. Are there former outler layers of the city lying in ruined heaps at the bottom of the hill? I don't see any in aerial shots. or any houses half of which have fallen down the slope, etc.
Human civilization depends on geological consent -subject to change without notice -the quote is from the preface to Will and Ariel Durant's History of the World.Many places are built where they really shouldn't be -Venice,Naples -places near volcanoes,places built where drained lakes used to be (Mexico City)Places near coastlines (Miami)
Listening to this podcast with you had done video on the Pitcairn series. It’s Heartbreaking to hear about the assaults. I read a bit and apparently a few women were almost tried for abuse of young boys too. They dropped those and a bunch of the men because they felt they could not go after that many people or get those convicted
Re: The idea that The UK wanted the island …. Look at Ascension Island, The UK Mil has been quietly “encouraging” the non-military personnel to leave. Look at Diego Garcia.
This is great, but I have to say, the G in Bagnoregio became a bit unbearable after the first ~20 times it was said. Ci-VI-ta also didn't help (it's CI-vi-ta). You could have looked up the pronunciation if you were going to use it so many times in your script. Other than that, wonderful work!
just sounding off I loved this, and I wouldn't mind interviewees speaking in their native tongue with English subs :)
Hey Evan do you know what sounding is

And for once, it's not even our fault.
Maybe it's fate is the same fate as all the ancient ruins of past civilizations
This, too, shall pass.
13:53 This is inaccurate. Italy currently has 59 million inhabitants, not somewhere between 40 to 45 million, like the graph shows.
Also most graphs show that Italy will have about 40 million people by 2100, not 20 million

Very interesting, very sad. Are there former outler layers of the city lying in ruined heaps at the bottom of the hill? I don't see any in aerial shots. or any houses half of which have fallen down the slope, etc.
That folks... Was the longest travel info-mercial, I have unwittingly ever.....ever seen.

Dead channel by Sam
Human civilization depends on geological consent -subject to change without notice -the quote is from the preface to Will and Ariel Durant's History of the World.Many places are built where they really shouldn't be -Venice,Naples -places near volcanoes,places built where drained lakes used to be (Mexico City)Places near coastlines (Miami)
Kinda bummed to see this channel appears to have died off so quickly.
nope, it's just a nebula exclusive now...
20-25 years to stabilize this… but only one major earthquake in that time frame could totally wreck the whole plan.
I wish them luck.
👆👆👆Hello we need a good and honest man who can work with us in America in an airport.
What’s that? A notification for a new Extremeties video? Today’s going to be a good day.
It's not exactly the same, but an episode like this on Mackinac Island, MI would be interesting to see.
"I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers."
That mayor is an awesome guy!
I’ve been there many times , one of my favorite places on earth .
“Massive Tuff” absolutely sounds like a 70s roots reggae band
Sorry but my monitor isn't a cinema screen.
What's with the super widescreen?
Listening to this podcast with you had done video on the Pitcairn series. It’s Heartbreaking to hear about the assaults. I read a bit and apparently a few women were almost tried for abuse of young boys too. They dropped those and a bunch of the men because they felt they could not go after that many people or get those convicted
Re: The idea that The UK wanted the island …. Look at Ascension Island, The UK Mil has been quietly “encouraging” the non-military personnel to leave. Look at Diego Garcia.
Could they use seaplanes? ShinMaywa US-2 could work
I don't watch minutephysics much anymore because it publishes little. I was sad to see the drop in volume.
Very good👍👍
As an Italian i'm sorry for the bad english we have here, most of middle aged people barely understand it...
Mi associo al tuo commento ahah
But are people in this historic town represented civily by squares?
The ‘g’ is not pronounced - not in Puglia or Tagliatelle or Bagnoregio
He sounds like the guy from Wendover.
Clark Kent sounds like Superman
@@seraid743 damn i couldn decide where i knew his voice from
Guys, I've seen some other UA-cam videos... Let's clear epoxy seal the whole village!!
This is great, but I have to say, the G in Bagnoregio became a bit unbearable after the first ~20 times it was said. Ci-VI-ta also didn't help (it's CI-vi-ta). You could have looked up the pronunciation if you were going to use it so many times in your script. Other than that, wonderful work!
you guys have a wiiiide aspect ratio
Civita is not its name. Its name is Civita di Bagnoregio. Civitas means city
