The Last Venetians

Venice is for tourists a romantic place and a popular destination, for the inhabitants increasingly a nightmare.

More and more Venetians fear the downfall of their city - but not by flooding. Offices, markets and shops are closing, rents are overpriced, there is a lack of affordable housing. The city is being sold in slices - to tourists and investors. Many Venetians move to the mainland, the population in Venice is overaged. But not all of them want to watch this decline inactively, as a Venice without Venetians would lose its soul. Come with us on a journey to Venice and get to know Venetians who love their city and want to save it.
