Wish I did. Although I bet there are Venetians who wish they grew up in a suburb of New York. They say the grass is always greener on the other side ...of the Atlantic.
“Mammoni” is an insult. The reason many italians between 18 and 34 are FORCED to live with their parents is that the cost of housing is skyrocketing while wages have been stagnant for 30 years.
@@giovannipanzeri6431 Sounds like south florida. We have lots of low wage work with stagnant wages due to the travel industry jobs, and then housing skyrocketed post-covid.
Please guys, don't put the Tarantella music on every italian city video, the Tarantella is compatible with Venice like the Flamenco is with Paris, it's simply a totally different culture from the south where that music was created. I had to say it because it's always the same with documentaries about Italy. If you want to look at a venetian musician look at Vivaldi for example.
what do you expect from mainstream media? 😅😅😅 stereotypical Chinese music for documentaries in China, mysterious Japanese instrumentals for Japanese documentaries, and ethnic drum music for documentaries in Africa, we're all victims of cliche stereotyping innit

Exactly and the fault is that Venice is being turned into an amusement park for tourists by a greedy, cynical political class who prioritized easy money over livelihood
Some are definitely forced, but it's also a practice embedded into the culture. Families in mediterranean countries usually have closer ties within them. In Spain, where I live, many stay because moving out is a big change that usually only occurs when you have a partner, and breaking the deep family links is more difficult than in other countries.
In year 2000 a salary was 1200 euro, in 2025 a salary is 1200 euro, IF you are lucky to even have a fixed salary. ALL European countries have surpassed Italy. Spain is better, Poland is better. Even Albania is about to be better than Italy very soon. The management of the country is a disaster. Italy needs some BIG radical changes ASAP!
I’ve been to Venice twice. The first time I arrived on December 31, 1998 and it was misty. I felt like I was in a dream world. It was so beautiful. At night when the lights came on I remember wondering, who lives in those houses? I thought, how lucky they must be. I love it that the entire family live in the same building. Nick, you weren’t even born yet in 1998. Thank you for giving us a glimpse inside your home. It’s beautiful.
I lived and worked in Venice for nearly 3 years, and I think it's the most beautiful on misty winter mornings, especially out of season - early November or late January. It's like walking through an elaborate film set
@@dejavu011 Thank you so much for your comment. I’ve been to Venice only once - in late January 1999, indeed ! I remember vividly walking almost meditatively through a misty San Marco Square around ~11:30 pm in a lightly moon-lit, chilly yet invigorating night, while other tourists were equally RESPECTFULLY quiet … Then suddenly, loud noises erupted temporarily this ETHEREAL moment - ~20 Americans arrived, obnoxiously and disrespectfully, loud, arrogant and stupidly unaware of the time and space of that particular moment; further, they seemed to be 30-something, white-collared and college-educated (maybe even postbaccalaureate), presuming in Venice to attend some professional conference.
just went there last winter for several weeks, it was misty at night too and some alleys leading to the main canals just looked like something straight out of a movie scene and i was the same as you, spent many days look up at houses wondering what the locals life must be like so this little doc was fun to watch :) Hope you get to go back one day
I grew up in Padua about 1/2 hour train ride to Venice and when we didn't know what to do we went to Venice...And believe me this city will show you a different amazing corner, building that you didn't see the last time you went... One of my most memorable trip was in 1985 after we had a big snow fall in Norther Italy and I saw Venice with snow....
This was amazing to watch. Loved it. Looks like a great guy, with a great group of friends, and lovely family. Best wishes to him- From an American-Italian envious of this life
I love this series. Please do continue. It's wonderful to see all the experiences fellow youths have around the world. It's fascinating to see all these different perspectives and cultures. It's quite insightful
I am from a town in the Los Angeles area, and I know what it is like for "home" to be a place people fantasize about visiting but to you, it is just everyday stuff! I loved seeing Venice through a resident's eyes.
Honestly we don't fantasize to live in Los Ángeles, just in the hollywood part, we know the rest of LA is just small houses with highways and expensive cafes
@@TheSamuelbest12 OK, I am going to be gracious though I don’t agree. It was an incredible place to grow up. I was 10 years old during the 1984 Olympics in LA and I had never heard of the Olympics at the time! So imagine you are a child that never heard of this magnificent sports festival and it is going to be in your area! I begged my father for tickets (and I recently found my 1984 ticket stub still in perfect condition after 40 years!) I became a lifelong Olympics fanatic!😃i
Great job. So proud of you. I only hear from my daughter or grand kids when they need something. In Germany it is the same where a whole family lives in the same house.😊
My family originally was from Venice but they moved to florence. It dates back 300 yrs. We were treasurers to the Wealthy. My mom came from Italy in 1921 to the USA, inside my grandmothers belly...lol. I'm a physician here in the US...I went to Med school in Milan. Funny growing up here in the US my mom always criticised the Italian americans ways of doing things she had all kinds of Italian terms for them that weren't nice...She kept saying that's not how Italians do it in Italy...lol great video wish you the best keep the traditions alive.
“Incredible work on this video! Watching it, I feel transported to the heart of Venice, and I can only imagine how inspiring it must be to grow up surrounded by such unique history and beauty. You’ve captured the spirit of the city so vividly that it’s deepened my excitement to visit someday. Thank you for sharing this piece of Venice with us!”
I'm also in the same boat as this guy, I was born and raised in San Francisco, USA and this video gave me some joy as I grew up in a city where people dream of living and traveling to. I had a very great childhood in SF and I have to say it is an awesome city to grow up in, and I have had unique experiences and made some memories of the like that would not be possible if I lived elsewhere. As of right now, I'm 32 years old and have traveled to 150+ cities around the world, and San Francisco will always be my home no matter where I go, and I wouldn't change what I have experienced my life for anything ever ❤ 🌁
I love this. I would have loved to grow up here. I feel myself so much more at home in Europe than America. The sense of community is stronger, the walking everywhere or taking trains so much better than driving.
I have spent a total of several months over the years in Venice, and am absolutely in love with it. While the architecture and history are appealing, what really makes the city great is not that-it’s that it is walkable, incredibly safe (crime rate is almost negligible), as so friendly, with kids playing safely anywhere, all the time. Sadly, it’s is also deteriorating. Its population is only a quarter what it was just a few decades ago, and much of that are the elderly. Real estate prices are astronomical, unaffordable to most middle-class Italians. It has become a city of vacation homes for Europeans who can afford it. So “urban crumble” (that’s what I’m calling it) happens: schools close, the hospital is little more than a walk in clinic (if you have a serious ailment you have to commute inland), even specialist doctors and dentists are hard to find; kids’ sports leagues and activities decline, even barbershops are declining in number (tourists do spa days, not haircuts). It’s sad, because as I said, it would be the most perfect environment in which to raise a family.
We smoke, but one of the things I like about Italy is that the drinking is very measured. We drink to enjoy, not to get drunk. When I travel and see all these people off their tits, it’s a bit of a culture shock
Italy is so beautiful ! So refined, stylish, elegant, and such a successful and influential culture which is world-famous and renowned, the origin of white Europe and the nest of western civilisation. Best food ever too, its luxury premium high cuisine. Btw it's not common to live with your family until you're older... Anyway I'm proud of Italia. Viva l'Italia. The most beautiful country in the world. The best. Tanto amore !!! 🇮🇹❤
Thank You Nick a nice video of Venice, myself and family have visited Venice and stayed in a Hotel on a canal, we used the Gondola to travel around. We loved Venice it's so unique and must be preserved. Greetings fro Australia 👍 Au
I had an incredible trip to Italy in 2008 when I was a single guy. Venice was my first city. I stayed in two different hotels in Dorsoduro. The first was Hotel Tivoli, the second was a pensione in the small square nearby. Such a beautiful place; I plan to bring my wife there this Spring. Thanks so much for sharing.
In Venice for a few days, I escaped from my group and explored.. This is a Liberal art university town with musical live performances and little art exhibitions everywhere. I enjoyed seeing a kindergarten class with parents fighting them into coats, spilling out on the sidewalk. And please and thank you in basic Italian, with a lot of pointing, got me luch on a local cafe away from the tourist strip. Lucky kid to grow up there.
Vendo os habitantes locais em seus cotidianos em cidades como Veneza, compreendemos a necessidade de preservar a cidade como uma cidade real e não deixar que vire um parque temático, preservando a cidade, viabilizando-a para seus moradores poderem morar e terem uma existência normal com seu cotidiano. Sem os moradores, só existe um cenário morto. Seria como visitar uma cidade fantasma, ou pior: um shopping center de mau gosto à céu aberto.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing this. And thanks Nick for being an incredible young man with a bright future. I hope you and loved ones stay healthy and safe. As a joke, I was waiting for that famous lady to start yelling "Pick Pocket!"
I was in Venice in May. I noticed the young ppl didn't look at their cells phones or engage in their laptops. They actually did things which I thought was refreshing.
Davvero frustrati. Sapere che anche per andare a prendere un panino e un litro di latte devi urtare centinaia di persone che non capiscono che questa è una città e non Disneyland.
Wow, very interesting story. Something I have not thought about. 200 years of the same Venetian family is special indeed. I can deal without driving a car but not riding a bicycle seems like it would be torture, though I understand why. Still, I think too I could live in Venice permanently.
wow, obviously the mother is American, and the pasta mixed with the salad is that touch of fundamental Italianness. a true example of Venetianness, also demonstrated by the opening tarantella, as someone pointed out as a negative note. creeping stereotypes, even if apparently masked by the description of a real life
Such an awesome city! But keep it underrated, there are already enough places littered in Europe by Americans and Chinese, including Venice. Don't let Bucharest become the same
Venice in video. Neapolitan tarantella. Utterly wrong - and Venitian tradition has centuries of magnificent music composed by and for this unique city. Let Napoli have her traditions and Venezia hers. Especially when creating a video that supposedly focuses on a historical city’s traditions.
@@dweuromaxx you got this, your videos deserve perfection. Anyways if one really has no clue and no time about music belonging to and with Venice, the great composer Antonio Vivaldi is a rich resource.
Not really: students 19 euro, Local( me) 37 euro, from all other people of Veneto 45 ( and 90 for the Venice card), tourist : if you don't like it there are the taxi, or stay at home, we go to the work and the scool and the supermarket only single time of our life.
I noticed in my travels that Italians often eat a little sweet rubbish for breakfast for the same calories as having an egg on toast or some fruit and yoghurt.
Nicholas is so cute and polite. Anyway, the worst problem in Italy -where I live- is that the salaries are too low and many people can't afford to rent a home or to buy it. Mammoni is not a full insult but it is dispregiative.
What is the most indicative of the decline of Italy? Thirty years ago I came to Italy from post-communist Czechoslovakia and I never believed that my country could (in terms of living standards) be equal to Italy. Today, after many years, I can state that the Czech Republic has a comparable standard of living in many respects. At the same time, Italy had an incomparable economic advantage. When I look at the socio-economic data, such as competitiveness, bureaucracy, etc., it is a very sad sight. The Italian fall still continues. Despite the fact that the Italian economy is still rich in the world. The fall will hurt all the more. So much for the "successes" of the Italian economy.
A double edged sword- Tourists , I am sure, are good for the economy… but I’m sure a lot of the locals hate it sometimes. I can’t blame them if they do❤
Could you imagine growing up in Venice?
Wish I did. Although I bet there are Venetians who wish they grew up in a suburb of New York. They say the grass is always greener on the other side ...of the Atlantic.
No.
“Mammoni” is an insult.
The reason many italians between 18 and 34 are FORCED to live with their parents is that the cost of housing is skyrocketing while wages have been stagnant for 30 years.
Yes, because I did.

Ivana Spagna is more contemporary compared to Vivaldi
@@nij9983 Well ... this is true but it doens't make it right or respectfull for those cultures.
@@TomSUGNET I said Vivaldi just because he's one of the most famous venetian musicians, but if you prefer Ivana Spagna i've no problem with it 😊
Nick is literally the cutest thing.
I was surprised he wasn't wearing shorts though.

Nick is so happy. You can tell.
Venice is a very healthy place for kids. It's safe, no cars, they can play in the streets
I had the chance to spend some summers there, even if I’m from a different city, and yes, it is marvellous to grow up there.
Hahaha, very healthy with that still water...
@@VladimirJakovljevic-h2qit’s not still water, it’s a lagoon, 6 hrs water comes in, 6 hrs water goes out…

I love to see these young men playing cards! So neglected by young people here in the US.
Me and my buddies used to have a poker night growing up, so no not entirely neglected.
in Italy is very common to do.
I'm 23 and my friends are between 19 and 22 years old and whenever we don't know what to do we play cards
I dont think you know what young people get up to. Bet I could take some money from you in poker.

Interesting take of life in Venice. We always look at it as tourists.
I was in Venice in May. I noticed the young ppl didn't look at their cells phones or engage in their laptops. They actually did things which I thought was refreshing.
Nice to see the life of a local in Venice. When I went there, its hard to find locals.

Davvero frustrati. Sapere che anche per andare a prendere un panino e un litro di latte devi urtare centinaia di persone che non capiscono che questa è una città e non Disneyland.
I remember seeing kids parallel parking their boats in venice, like how we do with cars, it was so cool haha
In my next life....!!!! God please let me grow up in beautiful Venice........
Wow, very interesting story. Something I have not thought about. 200 years of the same Venetian family is special indeed. I can deal without driving a car but not riding a bicycle seems like it would be torture, though I understand why. Still, I think too I could live in Venice permanently.

Not really: students 19 euro, Local( me) 37 euro, from all other people of Veneto 45 ( and 90 for the Venice card), tourist : if you don't like it there are the taxi, or stay at home, we go to the work and the scool and the supermarket only single time of our life.
I noticed in my travels that Italians often eat a little sweet rubbish for breakfast for the same calories as having an egg on toast or some fruit and yoghurt.
Also the locals like this person are almost always very rich families.
their english is surprisingly good!
Nick is one handsome Venetian young man.
very nice video, when you get some spare time make a nice video of Venice
I would love to visit Venice.
Very informative video. So sad these young adults start their life off smoking & ruining their health
Very cool story. 😀👏
Nicholas is so cute and polite. Anyway, the worst problem in Italy -where I live- is that the salaries are too low and many people can't afford to rent a home or to buy it. Mammoni is not a full insult but it is dispregiative.
Awesome.
Love Venice
He should move to Venice, California. It is pretty much the same as the Venice. He can walk everywhere
What is the most indicative of the decline of Italy? Thirty years ago I came to Italy from post-communist Czechoslovakia and I never believed that my country could (in terms of living standards) be equal to Italy. Today, after many years, I can state that the Czech Republic has a comparable standard of living in many respects. At the same time, Italy had an incomparable economic advantage. When I look at the socio-economic data, such as competitiveness, bureaucracy, etc., it is a very sad sight. The Italian fall still continues. Despite the fact that the Italian economy is still rich in the world. The fall will hurt all the more. So much for the "successes" of the Italian economy.
True, Italy is a G7 economy and quite large, but the Italian way of life is about simplicity.
A double edged sword- Tourists , I am sure, are good for the economy… but I’m sure a lot of the locals hate it sometimes. I can’t blame them if they do❤
