How very sad! Venice’s is History we can’t afford to lose! This Planet had already lost so much! What is wrong with our World Leaders. We are all sharing this World together! Shouldn’t we ALL be working towards helping towards saving and restoring all these Historical Wonders and our Planet. All the money governments spends on wars etc. ingratiating their own personal gluttony and power is unconscionable. They are not doing the work of the people! Never have and sadly never will!😢This is not the will,of We The People. If we could change the world we would all be helping Venice to save its History etc. etc. and our humanity before we lose it all forever. I have always wanted t see Venice one of the most beautiful places in the World! I’m afraid I never will but hope for future generations Venice and her people will prevail! 🙏❤️🙏

Maybe the Venice officials should collaborate with the dutch since they have such good water management

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. :(

You’re paying for the expirée ce at Cafe Florian. The waiters are in tuxedos. The service is wonderful and the building is beautiful. You’re not rushed. You can sit outside in one of the most beautiful squares in Europe and gaze at the basilica and bell tower and contemplate the history that surrounds you while sipping your tea or coffee.

Glad to know that you don't belong to the 90% category of humanity who can't afford to contemplate life in ghettos like Venice - they are wondering how to squeeze the last penny out of roadside foodstalls and bazaars .

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

One of my favourite place in the world. Venice 🏙 city.....watching from Kathmandu nepal. 🇳🇵🙏🙏🙏🇳🇵

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.

What happened to the Venice in Peril appeal years ago (70s?) a group called Rondo Veniziana made an album of fabulous music?

I remember that. I was in Venice on holiday in the 1970's and again in the mid 2000s.

What a delightful video

So ... this was made in 2020. Now a whole 4 years ago. Has there been any improvement since then? Or maybe instead a worsening of the situation?

Venice has been sinking since day one it was built; today .... still millions of visitors going to see the water level.

Thanks

It's almost like building an entire city on sand and silt isn't a good idea from the beginning. Who would've known...

Restored beautifully until the next flood. 🤦‍♀️

Not sure why they call it sinking city.. we were there when it rained so much, sure floods everywhere during pouring rain but then the next day the sun came out and it was all dry and the water was way below the normal level.. you could literally see the moss of the building

The tides call the shots - on certain bright sunny dry days you'll find the city inundated with more than a feet of water. The city has been sinking for a long time from the days it was built using timber buried deep into the sediment . The basic premise of its construction has condemned it to its obsolescence .

We probably have to close the city to the tourists. As much as we want to show off the city, mass tourism has only contributed to its destruction in recent times. All other problems can be solved.

Can they not build some type of wall/dam around the city? They need some serious engineering to save this historic city.

Was there last year. Pretty yes, totally overcrowded with tourists. Shoulder to shoulder and in the evening got eaten alive by mosquitoes 😅. Once is enough.😊

Time to spend the time and money on relocating to a safer piece of land - quickly.

This is older than they’re saying.

Might help if they outlaw motorized boats . Look at the wake they create. Needs to be gondolas only until they find a better way to protect structures.

The money is not there to save Venice

I would not give 5 cents to restore this city on water.

Throwing good money after bad. Let tourists pay for the floats.

Modify ground floor and continue business.

More of a travel/tourism video, I lost interest.
