I Built ITALY Out Of LEGO! (In Italy!)

I Built ITALY Out Of LEGO!
I visited Venice, Pisa & Rome, building landmarks, vehicles and Italian icons out of LEGO, including the Venice Skyline, Venetian Houses, Vitruvian Man, Leaning Tower of Pisa, a Pizzeria, a Fiat 500, a Ferrari, a Roman Chariot, a Vespa, Mario, Pinocchio, the Trevi Fountain, Vatican City, a Cat Sanctuary, and of course the Colosseum, one of the biggest LEGO sets ever made!

Italian themed sets that I would love to see in Lego... 1. Three Mini Coopers driving through a shopping centre. 2. Two British cavemen being taken to an auction house ran by Markius and Spencus. 3. A British spy driving a gondola/hovercraft driving through Venice while being watched by a double taking pigeon.

[@arghjayem]

Ok I get the first one- Italian Job obviously (the og not the remake aka the best one) and I get the third- Roger Moore Bond, think it was Moonraker wasn’t it because I re her it had Jaws in it and it definitely wasn’t TSWLM. But what’s the other one referring too?

I am so jealous that you get to do this Chris, flying around to different countries and building Lego sets of the most iconic landmarks in the world, that being said, I don't know if my social anxiety would let me build Lego sets in public. I'd definitely have to either build a micro set or "Build in the Bag". This video was so satisfying to watch, and I can't begin to imagine how much work each montage takes. Absolutely incredible work Chris.

[@HalfAsleepChris]

Thanks a lot! The bigger ones I usually build in hotels with views, but then do get lots of weird looks and people stopping to talk when I film them at the landmarks. I do it at 6 or 7 am to minimised this :)

I have to agree with you that the Colosseum is an extraordinarily tedious build. Unfortunately, I think the Eiffel Tower is a close second. I can't believe the lengths you must have gone to getting those sets. The Venetian Houses are a limited-edition Bricklink set! Now that you've done London, Paris, and Rome, the next obvious location with a lot of sets is New York. Let me know if you need any of the older NYC landmarks; I've got a good collection.

8:14 “FIELD NOTES: Venice was filmed separately in April, and actually the very first thing I filmed for the travel series as a whole. Pisa & Rome were filmed in mid-late July, during the ‘Settimana Infernale’ heatwave. It was exceptionally hot. With London and Paris, I made multiple trips to each city, enabling me to edit at home and then refilm any gaps or additional things that came up. I really struggled by only having one trip to Rome however, and therefore had to cheat, and green-screen a few minor things: - The opening shot of my hand holding the box, and the 4 boxes after the theme song. - The shot of Michelangelo, as the minifigure didn’t arrive in time. - The shot of me dressed as a Roman commander. In previous videos, I’ve had KZbinr friends dress up for the cameos, but since I don’t know anyone in Italy, planned on paying a street performer to do it. On trips to Rome in 2019 and earlier, there were countless people dressed lip as gladiators / soldiers / commanders, charging tourists for photos, but this time there were none whatsoever. It turns out they’ve been canned, so I had to film the cameo myself, sadly back at home using a green-screen. The Fiat was rented from ‘Rome for You’ and the Vespa tour by ‘Vespa Tour in Rome’. This is **not** sponsored, I paid for everything. The LEGO travel series will return soon. I have big plans…” [Field notes notes - screen grabbed & OCR'd with Capture2Text, free and open source of course. Any cApitalization errors are mine.]

[@danielmorris6523]

My Dad always loved little Fiats and owned many. Apparently during the 1960s Italian fuel costs were some of the highest in Europe, so Fiat always made very small cars with little engines which were very cheap to run and had excellent fuel economy. He has owned a 500 like the one in this video so I sent him the video; he will love it. He tells me a story often about how in the 1980s his Fiat 500 would often snap clutch cables so he would always keep a spare one in the boot and was a whiz at replacing them in about 10 minutes LOL. 😁
