    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.

      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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    • @BigSmallTravel

    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❤
