Venice is not just a stage set. It is also a city with a resident population, which has productive activities, transportation and services. But how does the “Venice system” work? How do the tides in the lagoon behave? How are the canals formed? And the embankments? What’s under the buildings?
Directed by Nicolò Scibilia (teodolinda.it). Motion graphics: pholpo. Produced by Insula spa, operational division of Venice Municipality.

    I think this is a marvelous 'how it works' video. One minor quibble: the background piano music is relentless!

    Very nice and interesting video, I shared to all my international contacts.
    I agree with the commenters before that the audio track might be improved, the choice of english words is very cultural and the pronunciation is very strong, so well-educated British and American people would surely understand but not for instance Japanese or Russian people who would chose the English version over the Italian just for because they don't speak Italian.
    Also the Italian words in the English text should better be pronounced in the proper Italian way and not with a invented English pronunciation (e.g. "Acqua Alta" is pronounced correctly, "Salizzade" and "Masegni" are not and would mislead the international viewer).

    Thank you for a fascinating and beautiful film. The Motion graphics are clear and clever, and I enjoyed the Scarlatti sound track as well.
