I was there last summer and standing in Piazza San Marco made me feel like I was in the game! I felt like I had been there before

[@halforthewin911]

I think Venice was my favourite city in the Ezio saga. The water added an almost magical aspect to it, and I'm glad to see it looks just as beautiful in reality. Awesome video!

[@patricetan]

I went to Venice in 2014. I finished AC1 to Rogue & Black Flag in 2013. I remembered tearing up when I finally had the chance to step my feet in Venice. It was like a dream come true. I had fallen in love with the water city ever since I was a kid; so long ago I forgot exactly when. My determination to go there got even bigger when I read Aqua & Aria manga by Kozue Amano (I suggest anyone who loves Venice to read them!) and especially when I played AC 2. Gosh, I swear when I stepped into Venice, exploring Piazza San Marco and the Basilica, I had the strongest dejavu, like I had already been there before. The same happened when I visited Sistine Chapel. Thank you, Assassin’s Creed 2. I only wish Ubisoft still cared about the actual storyline and not just upgrading the graphic like they do now :(

[@voiavictor]

Wow. Just wow, this video is so well done that I should try to share it even with friends that are not that interested in AC. They could still like it.

[@lightsidemaster]

People who don't like AC don't have a soul lol

[@Vwall007ST]

3:13 Ezio phases through the fence, just like Barry Allen

[@TheRealSandman]

I was in Venice October 2020. I remember sitting in the Piazza San Marco thinking 'damn I killed so many guards here'

[@alexspata]

just what i was looking for, going tomorrow in venice for three days and needed this :D

[@loomer]

+fursecu no problem, you might find the custom google map I created for the trip useful too! www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zp8kjRPXRVXU.kFI6JP83PUKg&usp=sharing

[@LCY77]

I'm finally in Italy, years after playing AC, totally a dream came true, visiting all the places too, thank you for the map and videos

[@munjasev]

Been to Venice and had on a shirt with hood similar to a white assassin hood. Will say I was actually able to find my way around Venice with my knowledge of AC2.

[@mayaamis]

Venice was my favorite par to play and explore in AC2, the beauty of the city and the size of area and all the things that happened in the story there were just amazing. and like I said before I think the game captured that city and vibe best of all... I have to admit I was nostalgic when I was playing the game wishing I could stroll through 15th/16th century Venice and experience that side instead of hectic overcrowded modern day Venice. p.s. the amount of research you do is AMAZING thank you for that learned new things :)

[@MoonBoomChannel2002]

1:51 I may be late, but when I was in Venice the guy who owned the gondola actually singed italian songs, and other guys that past us singed either

[@JohnBoy617]

Venice is truly beautiful. Also, I never get tired of hearing "Flight in Venice" theme

[@edwardkumarkenway1875]

It's like deja vu..it never leaves me without tears when i play through that episode of Ezio's family getting betrayed and killed.

[@thegreywizard96]

i get goosebumps all the time!

[@Meerbat83]

Haha, this is my favorite episode. "Wow, so palace", and Ezio's minstrel song during the romantic canal ride. :D

[@miskoL0L]

I've recently been to Venice and I've simply been amazed. It was Carnival time which I wanted to see since I saw it in AC2 for the first time haha. My wish came true. I'm fascinated by it mostly because of AC hehe. Your vid is great!

[@ubigabe8000]

My favorite so far!

[@ysoserious8526]

It is a dream of mine to see all these beatiful cities and locations. But I have to find a job now and I don't know when I will have enough money to start that rip and poorly by now no one who played the Ezio Trilogy and divides my passion... Anyway, thank you for this vid assassin!!!

[@MrNaxman]

Another outstanding entry in your pilgrimage series, I too have been to Venice in person and know what you mean by the bleeding effect in St Marks Square, the recreation in the game is dead on for this real life location. I love the musical score they use for Venice in Assassins Creed 2 as it is one of the best I have ever heard in any movie or video game.

[@loomer]

Yeah, I couldn't wait to make this episode because of the Venice tracks :)

[@fullmetalu320]

By the way, did you knew St Mark's Campanile (San Marco's Bell Tower) was completely destroyed in 1902? The campanile got seriously damagedon many occasions over the years. it was burned down in 1417 and 1489 and even damaged by an Earthquake in 1511. than in 1548 and 1565 it was damaged by lightning ,and again in 1658! and even more ligthnings...The campanile was damaged by lightning again in 1761 and 1762. Finally, in 1776, it was equipped with a lightning rod. in July 1902, the north wall of the tower began to show signs of a dangerous crack that in the following days continued to grow. Finally, on Monday, July 14, around 9:45 am, the campanile collapsed completely... The same evening, the communal council approved over 500,000 Lire for the reconstruction of the campanile. It was decided to rebuild the tower exactly as it was, with some internal reinforcement to prevent future collapse, plus installing an elevator. Royal Privy Councillor and scaffolding specialist Georg Leib of Munich was the first to donate his scaffolding to rebuild St. Mark's Campanile, on July 22nd, 1902. ]Work lasted until March 6, 1912. The work was carried out by the construction firm of G.A.Porcheddu. The new campanile was inaugurated on April 25, 1912, on the occasion of Saint Mark's feast day, exactly 1000 years after the foundations of the original building had allegedly been laid.

[@Joker2CoLex]

Best game music ever.

[@BastiaenAssassin]

Always a great experience. This has been one of my favorite youtube series of all time. Great work Loomer.

[@DankestGamer]

Just went on a huge assasins creed binge and replayed the entire ezio collection, Origins is phenomenal too, Ive beaten it 3 times

[@TomboyCactus]

Thank you for this! Such a beautiful pilgrimage. I miss this game so much!

[@hades2596]

Great video! I too was really confused to find out that Palazzo Della Seta does not even exist when I went to Venice for an AC grand tour.

[@lightsidemaster]

Great video, as always. Venice is a beautiful city. Again you did a great job with the music from AC2 that you added! Was very funny when you played the audio of Ezio singing lol.

[@madisongriffin4216]

Omigod! That singing voice sounded like Roger Craig Smith as Ezio was singing!

[@mebeafairy8292]

I think it was him

[@kenziehenderson8163]

Currently on a train from Rome to Venice on my honeymoon. This is making me even more excited 😂

[@kaybevang536]

One of my favorite parkour maps in AC2

[@Gbiese]

Great vid man!

[@loomer]

***** Thanks dude! :)

[@AlejandroP1980s]

Loomer keep up the good work

[@landonmoyer5599]

just got to venice, can’t wait to go out tomorrow and track all these spots down

[@andynaruto10]

Man, I love everything you're doing very much! And these AC Pilgrimage videos are so awesome, you make me very happy. Keep it up.

[@uAzil14]

Just went to venice last month... i love the city

[@pablocamille]

I want to do this pilgrimage with my bro when he gets older. Hopefully Venice doesn't fully flood before then. Awesome video, I feel like i've already been to the places just from playing the game

[@admit8318]

This city is a real time machine! Some day we will came back to see it again !

[@MrAmirtaha]

Finished AC2 years ago, and just got back from Venice! Great vid! Just what I've wanted to see

[@e.n.akasha9516]

BRILLIANT VIDEO!!! YOU PICKED THE BEST TRACK OF THE SERIES!!! BRAVO!!! GRAZIE MILE FELLOW ASSASINO!! CANT WAIT....

[@Schweizer_]

Magnifico! Been to Venice once, just as you said, dem bleeding effect :D

[@Yasory]

I'm using these videos as an itinerary on where to visit in Italy!

[@thelux8539]

This is honestly such a great series dude, I'm really happy that you got to experience new culture AND research for AC pilgrimage at the same time. I'm also amazed at how well Ubisoft developed such a similar look to the actual landmarks. It's amazing.

[@PainlessRockinb]

Loved these games, so much nostalgia!

[@TheSinfulKnight]

Currently in venice and actually trying to visit places from the game. Great guide and good for reminders.

[@13thmistral]

i was there last weekend. I expected a kinda tourist trap, but it is actually a nice place to be.

[@mayaamis]

Basilica di San Marco is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world, shame it was being restored when you were there, I saw it without the scaffolding in all it's glory and it is really breath-taking!!

[@MasterAssassin65]

To me of all Italian cities, Venice is the best!! Great to see you visit these places :)

[@EziooAuditore]

Thanks for these videos Loomer it's really entertaining to watch them. :)

[@jameshetherington1]

Just got back from Venice yesterday, my partner surprised me for my 30th birthday because she knew I've always wanted to go especially since AC2 (around Carnival too). An amazing experience, I was geeking out all over the place, but also a stunning city I have an almost identical photo of this penis masks in the same shop! Still there

[@ArtilleryAffictionado1648]

Just wish the game had a warmer atmosphere in Venice. In the game it looks like the foggiest place in England. While Italy IRL gets a lot of sunshine during the year. But thanks for the amazing video. I'll be travelling there as soon as this corona madness is over.

[@denster7715]

I was there many years ago and felt throughout that I had been there before. At one point during the visit, I said to my companions: "around this corner there will be a bridge." And VOILA! There it was, just as I had seen it in the game.

[@Tkyotripz]

You are becoming one of my favorite youtubers with this series. I hope you do another series similar to this one. I recommend you to send the playlist of this series to any gaming giant such as Machinima and let them write an article or even upload a video on their channel about it!

[@MrNaxman]

I love this series and will be sad to see it end next week. It's been great loomer, you have outdone yourself this time. Bravo

[@loomer]

MrNaxman thank you :)

[@sorahikara3272]

Yesterday i was there and its so amazing

[@baconpancakes8899]

1:57 You have to tell the Gondola guy to sing for you and he will

[@1993majinvegeta]

I was waiting for this one, thank you so much for the tour!

[@mysticfeal]

Venice is by far my favorite city in the entire Ezio's Trilogy.

[@0banai_Igur0]

Felt like heaven ❤

[@moonknightish]

2:51 You should search for Palazzo Barbarigo.

[@AntonioPerez18]

Beautiful video Loomer!!! And I agree with you and your girlfriend, Venice is my favorite city as well.

[@rinocerota]

Great video!😎🤩😎 Im re playing the game and also decided to visit these places,currently in Firenze, The whole exp is amazing!.

[@KimiF17954]

wow they did a great job recreating them. thx loomer!

[@lephantomchickn3676]

"We saw masks that were inspirations for multiplayer characters, as well as a few that DIDN'T." 😂

[@G.Vetiver]

素晴らしい動画です

[@monarchia]

damn bro this video is so good! 🎉

[@GreatMisterE]

Loomer when is your interview with voice actor of arno is going to be? approximetly ofcourse! :) i remember you said in one of the comments or somewhere else that he didn't mind doing one. And thanks for another tour video,appreciate it!

[@devollo98]

AC 2 is my favourite Assassin's Creed game, because of Ezio and Florence (and I live in this city).

[@StoicPolarBear]

I remember when I went there were so many people as so many birds. One actually flew and took my friends lunch (LOL) that was the first place I went on my trip and I got to tour the doges palace and see the dungeons at the bottom pretty cool. And it didn't smell bad so that was good lol

[@YakuKikyo]

Had visited the city - before even playing AC - and what I remember of it is how dirty it was and smelly from the stagnant water. Oh and the number of pigeons was astouning, it had been the first time I had seen so many at the same place. XD

[@loomer]

YakuKikyo Yeah my gf and I had heard about the smell but when we visited it actually wasn't bad at all. I wonder if it's gotten better over time or maybe if it varies by time of year.

[@zirrix4795]

The pigeons mark ledges from where you can perform a Leap of Faith -Animus

[@ravenwing199]

DerpyZirrix LOL

[@hartnettjeff]

Fun fact: in the early 1900s the st mark’s bell tower collapsed meaning the elevator he took was up a replica of the tower. Sorry but you didn’t ascend the tower Ezio did.

[@roms3]

Your videos are so charming. I love them!

[@TheRealGm4t]

3:13 What a glitch😂😂 Great video

[@ДушанПешић-и4ю]

You sir, are awesome for making this video!

[@Emmanuelofosubrown]

And then there Is me, that i'm italian and i don't feel It like something special, always nice video.

[@ORenIshiio]

Oh my favorite map ❤️❤️❤️ I Love this!!

[@craygroup]

Your favourite tomb was the San Marco? The one where you have to complete *four* time trials? Damn man.

[@LadyVale9309]

Now tell me...Once,or at least what I remember,having a "trip" with Gondola was a bunch of money,most didn't dare to ask...I was many times at Venice,but yeah I didn't get the chance...xD Anyway what I love the most in Venice is Piazza San Marco,once,now you can't,when I was a child you could feed the pidgeons,there were thousand and even they stood on your shoulders or hands...I miss those days,now you can't anymore...I find the square a pit poor :( I also enjoy the masks,I bought some in Venice ^^ Did you have the chance to visit some "islands" of Venice..Like Murano,etc? At Murano they work the glass and produce things with glass ^^

[@loomer]

***** we did go to Murano! it was really awesome :)

[@LazarSutilovic]

Hm, I went to Venice for the first time a couple of days ago, and there still were a lot of pigeons. It was very crowded because of the Carnival, but there must've been about 50 pigeons right outside of the Basilica in one spot, and I did hear that feeding them was illegal but it did happen just like you said. Some even stood on the heads. Guess those other tourists used the chance while the square's crowded to attract them, and not alert the authorities, lol. Only thing that sucks is that I only had 5-6 hours to be there and only managed to visit San Marco and San Polo districts. Also a shame that I wasn't there during the night, I bet Venice is magical during the night, just as it is in the game. Such a beautiful city.

[@tasicjeshmeker]

Lazar Šutilović zabranjeno je ali uglavnom niko ne bude kaznjen jer de ce murija da te vidi na onolikom trgu medju onoliko turista sta radis... zabranjeno je kolikos e secam i pusenje ispred nekih katedrala,sad vise ne mogu da se setim posto sam bio ima nekoliko godina,bio je momenat kad smo svi pobacali pljuge kad su naisli panduri tada smo bili ispred valjda najvece katedrale u italiji i nisam cak ni sigural je to bilo u veneciji...katedrala je ogromna

[@mayachan4799]

amazing !!!!!

[@God1234Like]

Awesome video

[@cotymccollum2927]

If you say, the bleeding effect could be possible by revisiting locations from cinema, then I might as well visit the entirety of Europe.

[@TheIZIM69]

Awesome vid man!!! Keep it up!

[@KevinVillalobos26]

Amazing Vid Loomer!! Why don't you make a fun behind the scenes video?

[@fullmetalu320]

Been there a week ago, the city is unique and beautiful, but damn, it is expensive as hell and full of tourists traps

[@Quaquas]

Good memories :')

[@StoicPolarBear]

Also great video. You edit it so well

[@caelan8819]

3:07 I heard that line to many times

[@sdfrag]

Venice is wonderful

[@Leonn9000]

Cela rappelle des souvenirs, très chouette vidéo.

[@ViniciusSantos-cg4vr]

All assassins lived,im big fan and i belive that

[@armagaan007]

I feel sad for those who'll play the new AC games without experiencing Ezio.

[@gongie09]

How much did visiting all the places cost you? It must of been a fortune!!

[@eggy5563]

Awsome video!

[@MohammedAli-oi3gx]

They need to do a remake of assassins creed 2, now that theres a ps4 and xbox one and combine the physics with unity.

[@kara9516]

Does Leonardo's shop exist in reality?

[@pretty123inaCP]

so palace much wow

[@100AngelBoy]

Venezia is a beautiful place, not just the island but all of it, sadly the water from the canals really stinks.

[@kaybevang536]

I think Ezio even mentioned it in AC2 talking to Rosa lol

[@chickenpermissiontheshaved75]

4:24 Egyptian assassin? is that his name? i think we just found our potential Egyptian assassin protagonist for Egypt :D

[@ryanhosteen6978]

I've been looking forward to Constantinople the most!

[@Joker2CoLex]

I love Venice

[@killdalamb3357]

1:27 lmao 😂

[@JG-jb1wl]

[@dreamfall2]

Do a leap of faith into the Grand Lagoon.

[@guy1856]

Hahahaha,nice video,also just wanted to ask you do you think there will be season pass for rouge?

[@Vriel7]
