Thank you to everyone who noticed the mistake with the titles! We have now corrected it. We hope you will enjoy it and like this video!

[@rheffner3]

Great video. I have been to Venice many times and it is unbelievable. Even with all the tourists and problems. The most interesting city in the world.

[@bernardofitzpatrick5403]

Brilliant documentary. I learnt a lot and that is always a positive thing.

[@SLICE_Science]

Thank you for your interest !

[@danrubin4506]

Completely false title: THIS VIDEO is about engineering history and current sea level challenges NOT tourism.

[@rudymazar5266]

Much better then

[@vcom2327]

Completely correct

[@phoebehill953]

Title should have stopped with “Venice in Crisis”

[@hotteaforthesoul4675]

It’s great they have stopped the cruise ships going into the Lagoon, because it was definitely causing issues that Venice didn’t need!

[@crabtonia]

Agreed...but the Title has probably encouraged MANY MORE viewers to watch thus piece of Historical Work..a superb Film.. dgp/uk

[@nancy9704]

It's absolutely astonishing and brilliant what humans can do. It just proves that the world CAN BE a beautiful place if we all do our part to help one another. Thank you for this video.

[@lisaschuster686]

If Poland can say no to every single illegal migrant, surely Venice has the balls to say no to motorboats.

[@rayRay-pw6gz]

The canals in Venice are also used by the locals for many reasons to support the city. The roads are very narrow and 6 months a year filled with people.

[@rebeccasimpson7527]

Not to mention cruise ships!

[@DavidKoppana-iq8jr]

If anything the title undersells how interesting it is and how fascinating the history parts are. Most of which I knew but I had misunderstood a few things.

I love Venice, unfortunately it has changed a lot by overly visiting tourists. But in the same time tourism brings a lot of jobs & money. So it's kind of paradox 🤔

Yes. One have to get the Sam vintern said in titel later in video. I did also like the video But the producer must learn to make Correct titel

What a precious artefact of exquisite human ingenuity and aesthetics. Our North American cities’ architecture is sadly lacking in beauty.

[@anngray9171]

The Mose' project seems to work when it is called up, but unfortunately a very accurate crystal ball is required to foretell when deployment is going to be needed The barriers cannot be deployed quickly, it takes time, so one needs considerable notice. The Mose' has failed once to protect Venice, because of this problem, unexpected high water! Also I am told the orders to deploy don't come from Venice, but from Rome. The cost of deployment is fantastic, so one can understand they need to be sure it is going to be necessary, on the other hand not deploying can lead to disaster! I have also been told that the daily cost of keeping the Mose' barrier in working order, free of crustaceans and such is astronomical. I put my bet on the water table.

[@DutchBatNL]

The idiots (industry) who worsened the situation because of greed should solve and pay for it! And the idiots who allowed them to build next to Venice. Why there? Italy has so much coast. Unbelievable!

[@robertvanslooten9475]

The Dutch are famous for their water architecture, but the Italians can do something about it too. Deep respect and greatest admiration for the Italians, not only for the architects, but for everyone who contributed.

[@able880]

In south Louisiana most structures today are built on pilings - with some old raised structures - they dug down several feet to the clay beds, and placed cotton ball down and set brick pillars on the bails of cotton to set a structure on - All the old buildings in the french quarter in new Orleans set on cotton bails - The cotton bails go down 6 to 12 feet and set on clay for a footing so the structures don't sink - All homes and buildings in. New Orleans are built on pilings today. -nothing in the french quarter was built higher than 3 storys also because of weight -

[@Alexsedlex]

maybe the French took inspiration from Venetian engineering

[@mistywolf312]

And the flooding solution though ingenious was designed about 20 years ago and will over top because sea levels are rising much faster than they calculated for.

[@again5162]

Actually British who invented the world tidal flow chart to an exact science have noticed fluctuations for the last 200 years, the tides are dependant on large planets when they get closer in their orbit

[@user-qc8lj2ej6v]

Maybe single hull boats in the canals make larger waves, maybe try the duel hull catermaran made in Tasmania, Australia, they may make smaller waves

[@garivera15]

The very first sentence in this presentation is inaccurate. A thousand years ago there was no "Italy". Since this video was originally meant to teach the history of Venice and the surrounding area what better opportunity to teach that this is the location that would one day be known by you and me as "Italy".

[@krooks6367]

This video is very interesting But it wasnt about turism! Except mention the boats and ships impact in short. The cruisar is not allowed to get in anymore. And most motorboats Belong to the those that work and live there. Young people likes to go fast in them too.

[@Chameleon-wq4ul]

Too many tourists is the reason why I would never want to visit Venice. If it was a quiet place, then maybe.

[@ArchitectingHappiness]

Clickbait titles are so dishonest. Even if it’s for a good cause Please cease this trend 🤦‍♀️

[@jackiemansfield8325]

Now I know why my Italian grandfather moved to South of Brazil

[@dega1955]

And then the south of Brasil experienced record breaking catastrophic flooding in 2024 that lasted for weeks on end. There's no escaping the environmental calamities of global warming and sea level rise anywhere humans occupy low lying terrain.

[@enricomercado4671]

What would be nice is if Venice can find a way to eliminate the sewage-like smell that comes from the canals, from probably old sewage lines going into them and stagnant water.

Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"

In 2018 I visited Venice while I was walking through the streets I saw myself standing in water waist deep I got so afraid that we left Venice as soon as possible it was not long after that the sea started to raise and the level had raised also water came into restaurants but the level that I was standing in as a tourist can still happens in future.

Why do the eco-types always see nature as sentient? Geological changes whether caused by natural or unnatural change are done by the scientific logic of what happens no fighting or emotion involved. You should take that to heart and learn from it.

Couldn’t they charge a fee to visit Venice? Like Disneyland? They charge over $100 per visitor. If a million visitors each paid $100, that could generate $100,000,000. Then do the repairs and if possible lower the visitor fee. Boats and ships should be taxed for damage as well.

IPCC AR6 foresees a lot more that 50cm of SLR by the end of the century. In fact there are probable scenarios that foresee 50cm in a few decades. If the engineers and other individuals in the video actually took the time to read the IPCC reports (or the IMechE UK reports) they would realize that most of the actions mentioned in this video are irrelevant. Fact is that real estate in Venice is worth only 20, maybe 30 years of rent, a fifth of its perceived value, unless something far more drastic than MOSE is implemented within a few decades. And to get started, people should start by accepting the conclusions that 1000s of scientists in IPCC, and 1000s of delegates from 195 member nations have reviewed and ratified over the last few decades. Everything else is a waste of time..
