Venice Explained

What other city of the world would you like to see explained on my channel?

loved your video. great info

Awesome, thanks!

Another amazing video Manuel ❤ Has put Venice top of my list of places to visit. I think Malta, Istanbul and Jerusalem should be on yours as id love to see your videos on them!

I understand that the four horses outside St. Mark’s Cathedral are just reproductions of the real ones, which are inside.

Fabulous video and information. Thank you for producing this insightful and wonderful video.

Excellent video and I learned so much. Headed to Venice soon and so glad I saw your video first ❤

What I missed in this wonderful city was more palaces open to visitation.

Amazing video with great quality, that goes in detail, history, theory, plans, texture and historical meanings. Keep up the good work.

There may be dead bodies
Innocent people killed by the king

Superb!

Dude this video is fantastic.

Venice is a true pearl among all the cities of the world ! City unique in the world for its characteristic, Its canals, its architecture, the stunning facades of its palaces, the squares.

I am from Australia and have been coming to Venice every year for about 40 years. I never tire of it's unique beauty, it's unique people,, food, expressions, colours, moods, palazzi, gardens, sistiere, sunsets, churches, all and everything is magical, theatrical and I still stand in awe and smile..

What if you need to go to the hospital in an emergency ... how would that work ?

For centuries sewage was directed to the canals which were supposedly flushed by the tides. Drinking water came from rain water cisterns that probably killed thousands who drank water polluted by sewage and general filth. Venice is a wonderful city based on a bad idea: to build a city on a saltwater marsh.

You’ve made this video so very interesting. Like a good book I just can’t put it down. Thank you for all your research and the way you have so coherently assembled the information. I subscribed immediately.😊

Excellent commentary! It's a gorgeous city.

The real magic of Venice is not its architecture (which is spectacular, make no mistake—but so us that of Rome, Paris and other great cities). The real star is its urban design. A high density city that still provides countless quiet corners, stolen moments of peace and privacy, and above all, functioning without cars, thus being quiet and safe, even carefree. It is largely a pedestrian city. The waterways as a means of transport are really limited to commercial traffic—everyday life is lived on foot. It’s a model that stands to be replicated.

i just spent 3 weeks in europe and visited 9 countries and many big cities. I was THROUGHLY impressed by Venice...incredibly unique and fascinating.

I spent time in Rome, Venice and Florence. Florence is so far the only European city I've been to that wasn't awful. I wouldn't go back to any European country I've been to if it was free.

Very interesting for sure, but would appreciate a slowing down of narration. It is blindingly fast and often too much to absorb.

Beautiful 🤩

Haha, Doge means Duke. Shibas are royalty.

Florence

Fantastic, thank you ….I love Venice so much…

Love this video😍❤️👏👏

Venice is the unrivalled jewell of western civilization.

VENEZIA e' sicuramente particolare, ma avrebbe bisogno di essere tutta ristrutturata, specialmente lungo i canali, con i muri vecchi decrepiti !!!

ничего не понял но очень интересно

🗣--🔳🟥🟫🟧⬜️. 🪽🌿🪽 Excellent Narration and superb video production. Thanks for this.

very well described with loads of history! thank you !

An exceptional video. V enice just as I remember it on the trip of a lifetime. New sub here, and looking forward to seeing more of your playlist.

What a detailed video and so informative. Manuel, I think you have done such an awesome job at it. Keep it up. One of the best videos I have seen on Venice.

Artwork inside Doge’s palace is spectacular. Home of the world’s largest oil painting.

Amazing video Manuel. One point Hagia Sophia didn't demolished. It turned Church to Mosque after conquering of Constantinople. In addition, I have been Marco Polo House nowadays serving as theatre house . As a tourist, it's a great pleasure to see and feel this beautiful city views with all aspects. St Marco basilica is one of best places I visited in Italy :) Thanks and looking forward to see more videos from you

I thought Venice, a former fishing village, was a refuge for fleeing Romans from nearby Roman cities who were trying to escape the invading Huns and Germanic tribes.

Bravo! Mr. Bravo

When I spent a week in Venice in 2016, I used my 7-day vaparetto card for travelling on the canals, but I also enjoyed wandering by foot along the narrow pathways, and just discovering what there was to see off the beaten trail, and trying to guess where that path would lead me to a location that was familiar. It was impossible not to fall in love with the non-tourist Venice!

Thank you for such an interesting video. I would love to go to Venice. The shape looks like a hand or thumb in the mouth of a fish. I would love to see a video of London

I am new to your work. We will spend the days in Venice in October 2024. Your video had a unique perspective compared to others i have seen. Thank you

Superb - thank you!

Enjoy watching your videos! What camera do you use to record these adventures?

Amazing video- great research and explanation. New subscriber here 🙂

No wonder it’s swamped by tourists - everybody wants to experience its beauty

I spent a day there and did get off the main thoroughfare (you are right about needing to do so) a bit but other than that only saw some highlights since my time in Italy was a limited working trip. If I go back I would love to spend 4 or 5 days there. Getting away from tourist habits and traps is a must, no matter where you go. You Tube and Google Earth let's me travel almost any where now, the only thing missing are the people and food. (I loved watching Anthony Bourdain shows)

Thank you for your work! We are getting ready for a trip to Italy this autumn and your video is a real gem in the sea of useless "best things to do in Italy" type of videos. Will definitely check out the other ones on your playlist.

Excellently done! Content, voice, music, visuals. Compliments, and thank you.
