“Il fascino di un’abitazione storica”.
runs the risk of no longer being a city, because the tourism is
pushing out the residents towards the mainland. A city is not made
only of buildings and squares, it is also the people who live there,
the inhabitants, their way of talking, their lives, their encounters
and personal relationships. I’m not against tourism, and we
Venetians have our own places, our own venues, but it pains me to
see the shops that are all becoming equal. Venice is a small but
very international community: there are college students from all
over the world, researchers, artists, and foreign residents. It is a
city where the whole world passes through, not like living anywhere
out in the provinces where everyone keeps an eye on everyone
else. Here you can dress anyway you want, no one will notice you”.
Venice is a fish, the author Tiziano Scarpa has written. It will
always be sustained as long as its inhabitants give it the force to
tread water, making it glow and sparkle in the lagoon and in
everyone’s dreams; as long as there are adventurous people like
Paolo and Isa who are willing to renovate old houses and fill them
with life again.
