Documentary on Venice

Hi all,

My name is Amy and I am a student at the University of Westminster.

I am currently producing a documentary on the culture of Venice, and how if the city were to be drowned in water in 50 years time, the beautiful city and all it's history and culture will be lost.

I am looking for any leads who may be willing to give us an interview on camera about life in Venice.

Ideally, we are looking for small business owners, historians, experts on the city, people who may be able to show us around 'tourist attractions' or give us the history behind them and people who have been living in Venice for generations. 

Would anybody be able to help and suggest some Venetians who may be willing to give us a tour of their small business or an interview about life in Venice and how the flooding affects them yearly?

Thank you very much in advance,
Amy

Hi Amy and welcome! I do not think that we have a member of this Forum in Venice; however, I remember that in the old Forum which is no longer in existence we had a member by the name of Cat Bauer who has a blog on Venice and has been living there for quite a few years now. Just Google her name and Venice and you shall be able to get in touch with her. In any case, your project sounds most interesting and I wish you lots of luck in your research.

Another name you should search for is Francesco da Mosto
