A breathtaking journey through the ages, telling the story of one of
the world's most famous and beautiful cities. This lavish, landmark
series explores how a place with no firm ground, no crops, no
indigenous riches and no land army came to snatch success from the
jaws of failure time and time again - right up to the present day.
Step back in time to early Venice, recreated by the magic of CGI. See
wooden houses on stilts replaced by the daring rebuild in stone and
brick.
Witness the sacking of Constantinople and the Venice of Casanova,
Napoleon, Byron and Mussolini. The stunning recreations and
dramatisations in each episode are enriched by insights from
charismatic aristocrat, architect and historian Francesco da Mosto.
His family has lived in Venice for over a thousand years and, far from
having that sinking feeling, he believes passionately in the future of
this miraculous city...
Presented by Francesco da Mosta, architect, historian and filmmaker.
Profiles the history and secrets of Venice from its establishment in
the fifth century through the strong republican times to the modern
day. Features dramatised re-enactments, a tour of the city and look at
what the future could be for the city now that the sea levels are
rising.
