- A few months apart, Venice has lived through two dramas that have brought it to its knees. On November 12, 2019, a phenomenon of Aqua Alta of a historical level strikes the city of Doges, causing terrible damages to its secular heritage. A few months later, in the spring of 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic pushes the authorities to close the city, causing a sudden and lasting halt to mass tourism, on which the city had become economically dependent.

The sea level continues to rise due to global warming, the city is sinking. After these two major traumas, the Venetians are questioning the future of their city and are mobilized more than ever to save their jewel from rising waters, but also to invent a new form of tourism, less invasive and more sustainable. They are restorers, craftsmen, fishermen, heritage managers, or tourism professionals, and are fighting to invent the new future of the city of the Doges. Since its foundation 1600 years ago, the Serenissima has always been resilient and wishes to make from these events a chance to be reborn stronger.

Venice is the most magnificent city on the planet. There are none like it and the entire world should participate in saving this treasure. I wish they also covered the dangers of millions of inconsiderate tourists that do damage to this city.
This was invitable - the original builders assumed thar nature did not matter and built the city on a very important flood plain. They chopped down a forest to put loads of slilts to build the city on and forgot about where the water would go. Now present day people have to bear the cost of maintainance - time to let the whole city go back to the sea. a real pity but nature will have its way
I’ve eaten at the Florian! The mirrored walls are fabulous!
Been there 2023. The guides were unable to explain, why you should build just inches above the water line.
And yes, 6€ for a glass of Coke.
It's called a museum. The venetian population cannot afford to live there either. They live in the tenement buildings surrounding Venice. Not so sure just how truly helpful tourism is, anywhere. Every nation should be self sufficient and get along, no doubt. The water was sky blue when I was there but I was told I'd be arrested if I dove into any canal and swam. :(
There is not enough money to save this city...and people are talking about saving it forever....
What happened to the Venice in Peril appeal years ago (70s?) a group called Rondo Veniziana made an album of fabulous music?
Thanks
One of my favourite place in the world. Venice 🏙 city.....watching from Kathmandu nepal. 🇳🇵🙏🙏🙏🇳🇵
What a delightful video
Venice has been sinking since day one it was built; today .... still millions of visitors going to see the water level.
This is older than they’re saying.
Time to spend the time and money on relocating to a safer piece of land - quickly.
Throwing good money after bad. Let tourists pay for the floats.
Just a correction
