20 Things to do in Venice, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript: (VENEZIA ITALIA):
We’re taking you on a whirlwind tour of Venice in winter visiting the famed Floating City. Join us as we show you the best things to see, do and eat in Venice.
The Vaporetto is Venice’s water bus service. The standard ticket is 7.50 Euros and valid for 60 minutes, the 1 day pass is 20 Euros and valid for 24 hours.
The most visited attraction in Venice: Piazza San Marco where there is quite a bit to see and do around the square beginning with St Mark’s Basilica.
St Mark’s Campanile, a tall brick bell tower was once used by approaching ships as a beacon to guide them home where you get great views of the city.
Then you have the Doge’s Palace, which was the residence of the Doge of Venice, the ruler of the former Republic of Venice built in the Venetian Gothic style.
Don't forget the Bridge of SIghs, whose name refers to the sighs of prisoners who would get their last glimpse of Venice as they were led from Doge's Palace to their cells.
Across to the other side of the Grand Canal, you have the Basilica of Saint Mary of Health and the Galleria dell’Accademia in case you’re in the mood for art.
A restaurant we really enjoyed La Zucca - a place where all the dishes are made with pumpkin! The Rialto Market specializes in produce and fresh seafood for self-catering.
Let’s talk about island hopping in Venice:
Founded in the 5th century, Torcello is even older than Venice and was the original settlement in the Venetian Lagoon with lots of walking paths, nature and Byzantine mosaics.
Burano is known for its lace work and brightly coloured homes with plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops to browse.
Mazzorbo island sits next to Burano and is connected by a bridge while being known for its vineyards and orchards.
Murano is renowned for its glass production dating back to 1291 when the glassmakers in Venice were forced to relocate by the Venetian government.
Lido is an 11-kilometre sandbar island that shelters the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea with beaches, lots of seaside homes, and this is also where the Venice Film Festival takes place.
A restaurant we liked in Venice is Osteria Mocenigo specializing in local cuisine. Try the “Sarde in saor” - a typical Venetian dish made with sardines.
While your vaporetto pass is valid ride the canals at night and watch the Floating City come to life.
We hope you enjoyed this Venice travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas for your own trip.

Visiting the Ruins of Pompeii, Italy Travel Guide
Join us as we visit the Ruins of Pompeii, Italy in this travel guide covering this ancient Roman city near modern Naples, in the Campania region of Italy, in the territory of what is now the comune of Pompei. Pompeii was destroyed by volcanic ash and pumice during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius back in AD 79. After thoroughly exploring the pompeii ruins we head into modern Pompei city to visit more attractions and eat pizza at our favorite pizzeria.

Visiting the Ruins of Pompeii, Italy Travel Guide Transcript:
While many travellers visit Pompeii on a day trip, we chose to base ourselves here for a few days. The main draw, of course, were the ruins of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city that was buried under ash and pumice when Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. We spent half a day walking through the world's largest excavation and archaeological site, and what follows it our mini travel guide.
Our first stop inside the complex was the Amphitheatre of Pompeii. Built around 70 BC, this is the oldest surviving Roman amphitheatre to have been built of stone; for comparison the Colosseum in Rome wouldn’t come into existence for another century. We toured the grounds and also checked out the music exhibit on site, because it turns out a lot of bands have played here over the years!
After visiting the amphitheatre which is on the very east end, we started making our way into the city. The streets were cobbled and all along there were rows of houses and villas, many of them with impressive frescoes that tell the tale of a wealthy city with lavish homes.
One of the reasons Pompeii is so well preserved is because it was buried quickly by volcanic ash and pumice, plus the lack of air and moisture also allowed for the buried artifacts to be extremely well preserved. Stepping into the homes is like stepping into the past; you can still see the elaborate mosaic floors and vibrant frescoes frozen in time.
Continuing our walk through Pompeii, we eventually reached the Forum. This square would have been the centre of life for locals with temples, municipal buildings, and markets. The statue of the centaur, half-man half-horse, is a focal point, as is the view of Mount Vesuvius looking down on the ruins.
To finish off our visit of Pompeii, we walked along the southern edge of the ruined city where we saw the casts of the victims of Vesuvius. When archaeological teams began excavating Pompeii, they noticed there were large voids in the compacted ash whenever they were digging around bones. By pouring plaster into the spaces, they were able to capture the final poses of the residents’ last moments in the city.
One of the best discoveries of our time in Pompeii was Pizzeria Alleria, we stumbled here soaking wet on our first night in the city and we just couldn’t stay away after that. Here’s what the fuss is all about.
After that, we ended up getting a second Margherita pizza - the first one was just too tasty! - and then we also ordered the Nutella cheesecake, which was just as decadent as it looks.
We started our do-it-yourself tour of modern Pompei at Piazza Bartolo Longo, a beautiful plaza lined with palm trees right in the heart of the city. Standing in the square, it’s impossible to miss the Shrine of the Virgin of the Rosary of Pompei, where once you step you are greeted with painted domes and golden ceilings. And then from there, we went to the top of the bell tower for a 360-degree views of the city.

Florence to Venice by Train | Italy Travel Vlog
Join as we head from Florence to Venice by train in this Italy travel vlog which also includes a full apartment tour of our airbnb in Florence as well as the new apartment we stayed at in Venice. Our day was spent killing a bit of time at our favorite pizzeria and small cafe at the train station in Florence before boarding our train. The two hour train ride from Florence to Venice went by quickly and featured some scenic winter views of snow blowing as we zoomed past rural areas. Upon arriving in Venice we checked into our airbnb before picking up our family friend Val who will be joining us for the rest of our travels through Europe.

Italy Train Travel from Florence to Venice | Apartment Tour of Florence + Venice Video Transcript:
We're going to give you the apartment tour. So come on in. There is a really long hallway. A corridor.
A corridor and into here. We have the living room. It was perfectly adequate. I mean we had a small table and four chairs. Tiny little couch. I mean for four people it was a bit cramped. We found the biggest complaint about this place is we felt like we were a little bit on top of each other. You know we were staying here for 6 nights.
It was a little bit crowded for 4 adults yeah but the views. Right. We chose this place for the views. We need to show you. The views and location were excellent. One more time.
The views and location were excellent also really appreciated this place had central heating. Because it was cold the entire time we were here. But we were nice and toasty inside. The entire time. If you look over here we had wine glasses and we made good use of those.
We did all of our cooking here. A little fridge. We had a kettle.
And the best part I would say the best feature of this of this apartment I should say was that we both had nice big bedrooms.
Today is another easy travel day. We are only going to take a 2 hour train. Heading to Venice and the nice thing is that we have well I wouldn't say it is so nice but we have a bit of time to kill so that means we can have a bit of a leisurely lunch. Pizza. We're going to go to that pizza place again just because we all like it. It is cheap. It is good and it is actually on the way to the train station.
So we've tried a few different pizzas here at this place but this is our first time to try the four cheese one. So I'm just going to flip it up. Flip it up.
And I'll just mention so for the four pizza slices and a couple of drinks we paid 15 Euros. It was a good deal.
So we arrived with 2 hours to kill. Yes. So we found a little cafe right in the train station. We're all having it does not have the most beautiful train station. Very little seating so we had to find a cafe. Yeah we were lucky to find this one.
We've got about 5 minutes to wait for our train here. So I thought I'd ask you what did you think of Florence? I think you liked it more than Rome right? Very much more than Rome. Very walkable, the art museums were very not crowded. We didn't feel like cattle in them. We learned from our mistakes we went early. When it first opened.
Hello from a bakery in Venice. Hello from a bakery in Venice. So we've arrived here. A nice short train ride. We've checked in and we're pekish.
Because our next transportation day is going to be really really long. Trains and ferries. So I think we'll actually give you a second apartment tour today.
Apartment tour. Because it is cool. It is cool and we're here. We've got another person joining us on the trip. One of my parents friends Val. She is flying in from BC.
We're just going to pick her up soon.

MORESCO Magico Borgo Medioevale - HD
© CLAUDIO MORTINI™◊
Il Castello di Moresco (FM) con le sue strette vie e la piazza con il suo portico, con gli affreschi e gli edifici antichi perfettamente conservati, accoglie il visitatore in un’ atmosfera medioevale e magica.
Rientra nell'associazione I Borghi più belli d'Italia. Sorge sulla sommità di un colle a controllo della sottostante valle dell’Aso; nel Medioevo fu roccaforte del Comune di Fermo nella guerra contro Ascoli; la sua posizione strategica è ancora evidente: dal borgo infatti si gode una spettacolare vista che spazia dal Monte Conero al Gran Sasso.
Completamente cinto di mura, ha forma triangolare con al vertice l’imponente Torre Eptagonale(7 lati) del XII sec.
Da vedere: La torre, con all'interno una moderna scala con spazi espositivi e che dall'alto offre la veduta dello stupendo paesaggio delle colline, delle valli e dei paesi piceni.
Il castello, con le sue strette vie, le case antiche in cotto con bei portali, la piazza triangolare con il suo portico, gli affreschi e gli spettacoli che vi si tengono nel periodo estivo.
Le chiese che (ad eccezione di quella moderna di Sant'Antonio da Padova) sono tutte fuori del perimetro delle mura e nella prima campagna: la parrocchiale di San Lorenzo con tele dei secoli XVII e XVIII, quella di santa Sofia con resti di affreschi , quella recentemente restaurata di San Lorenzo, quella della Madonna dell'Olmo con affreschi di Vincenzo Pagani (1490? - 1568), quella della Madonna del Soccorso con la venerata effigie della Vergine.
Il palazzo comunale nel quale sono conservate varie opere provenienti da chiese e da collezioni private, prima fra tutte una grande pala d'altare di Vincenzo Pagani.

BETTONA Antico Borgo Umbro - Ancient Umbrian Village [1080p HD]
© CLAUDIO MORTINI **
L'atmosfera di Bettona, comune umbro in provincia di Perugia, ci riporta indietro di molti secoli, ma allo stesso tempo ci immerge in un'ospitalità viva e colorita, dalla solarità contagiosa.
Le sue radici lontane sono testimoniate dal nome stesso, che significa probabilmente paese degli antichi, e il profumo del passato è una presenza affascinante che invade ogni angolo del borgo, ogni pietra delle mura e ogni ciottolo delle strade.
Popolata da poco più di seicento abitati nel borgo e 4 mila nel comune, la cittadina si colloca al confine nordorientale dei Monti Martani, ed è compresa a ragione tra i Borghi più belli d'Italia. Non solo il paese, ma anche la cornice che l'abbraccia è di una bellezza stupefacente: dal colle su cui Bettona si erge si può godere di un panorama splendido su gran parte dell'Umbria, da Perugia ad Assisi, fino alla pittoresca Spello, in un tripudio di verdi teneri e coltivazioni ondeggianti nel vento.
Tra gli esemplari più antichi dell'architettura paesana c'è la Chiesa di San Crispolto, fatta erigere da un gruppo di monaci benedettini all'inizio del Duecento per custodire le spoglie del primo vescovo e martire umbro, tuttora patrono di Bettona. La pianta è a croce latina, e la facciata che si può ammirare oggi è di epoca ottocentesca. Soltanto la torre campanaria cuspidata, in stile romanico, appartiene all'edificio originario. Del XIII secolo è anche l'Oratorio di Sant'Andrea, più volte modificato nel corso dei secoli ma tuttora ricco di fascino: il soffitto a cassettoni, di fattura pregiata, è del XVI secolo, l'altare risale al Settecento ed è del 1394 il ciclo di affreschi di scuola giottesca che rappresenta la Passione di Cristo.
Ma l'edificio di culto più affascinante è certamente la Collegiata di Santa Maria Maggiore, risalente ai primi anni del Cristianesimo, ampliata e nuovamente consacrata nel 1225, per poi essere restaurata secondo il tipico stile neoclassico tra il 1803 e il 1816. Soltanto la cappella ci rimanda al primo impianto romano-gotico, mentre ben più recenti sono i dipinti nell'abside, realizzati dal futurista Gerardo Dottori nel 1939. Ammirevole l'altare principale, con un ciborio a forma di tempietto, l'abside e le finestre con i vetri istoriati.
La religiosità dell'antico borgo è sempre stata forte e autentica, ma a Bettona ci sono anche architetture civili di indiscutibile valore. Da vedere il Palazzetto del Podestà del 1371, che attualmente ospita la Pinacoteca Comunale, l'ottocentesco Palazzo Biancalana che presto ospiterà il Museo Archeologico, e infine il Palazzo Baglioni, in cui trascorse i suoi ultimi giorni il condottiero Malatesta IV Baglioni, la cui famiglia governò il paese fino al XVII secolo. Spingendosi un poco al di fuori del centro ci si imbatte nella mole grandiosa della Villa del Boccaglione, progettata nel Settecento dal Piermarini, e nella piccola chiesa romanica di San Quirico. Dell'anno Mille è la Badia di San Crispoldo, fondata dai monaci benedettini e oggi trasformata in residenza privata.
Se Bettona fa innamorare i turisti nelle giornate più tranquille dell'anno, figurarsi nei momenti di festa più allegri, quando le stradicciole del borgo sono brulicanti di visitatori e tutto testimonia le tradizioni accattivanti del paese. Tra gli appuntamenti più attesi c'è il Festival Internazionale del Cavallo e la Sagra dello Sport, la prima metà di luglio, con stand gastronomici a disposizione dei palati più esigenti, concerti musicali, serate danzanti e gare equestri a livello nazionale e internazionale. Dalla fine di luglio alla prima settimana di agosto la protagonista della festa diventa l'oca arrosto, in occasione della Sagra dell'Oca Arrosto, ma i piatti deliziosi che si possono degustare sono davvero innumerevoli, accompagnati da un olio d'oliva purissimo e il buon vino delle cantine locali. Per salutare l'estate che se ne va c'è la manifestazione settembrina Tuttinfesta, con musica, buon cibo e spettacoli di vario tipo all'insegna dell'allegria.
Apricale (Imperia) - Borghi d'Italia (Tv2000)
La troupe di Borghi d'Italia, in questo terzo appuntamento stagionale arriva in Liguria e protagonista della puntata sarà il Comune di Apricale in Provincia di Imperia.
Il paese, Bandiera Arancione del Touring Club Italiano, è un vero gioiello architettonico completamente edificato in pietra e incastonato tra i boschi.
Cerignale (Piacenza) - Borghi d'Italia (TV2000)
La XXXIII puntata di Borghi d’Italia ci accompagna a Cerignale (Piacenza). Il piccolo centro montano si trova sulla dorsale che divide il fiume Trebbia ed il torrente Aveto. Cerignale rappresenta uno dei luoghi simbolo della Val Trebbia. Il Comune, ha un territorio molto vasto e comprende tanti piccoli borghi con case in pietra, vecchi mulini e abbondanti sorgenti d’acqua. Nel corso del programma incontreremo il sindaco, il parroco, il vescovo della Diocesi Piacenza – Bobbio e gli abitanti. Visiteremo il borgo capoluogo, la bella parrocchiale di San Lorenzo e le altre chiese. Ammireremo i boschi, i tanti fontanili, l’antico castello di Cariseto, i preziosi borghi del territorio, ognuno con una sua precisa identità; mostreremo le limpide acque del fiume Trebbia incorniciate da imponenti sculture naturali in roccia. Nel suggestivo borgo medievale di Ponte Organasco, frazione di Cerignale, degusteremo i tanti piatti tradizionali e le altre tipicità del luogo. Inoltre, incontreremo gli accoglienti cerignalesi nella deliziosa piazza del “buon pane”, così chiamata per la presenza del forno comunale, poi percorreremo tutto l’itinerario cittadino: dalla piazza della Democrazia e della Tolleranza, alla fontana della Pace; dal grande manifesto dell’emigrazione, alla “Stalla dei Barbetti” oggi spazio per mostre ed altre attività culturali. Fino ad arrivare alla nuova fontana dedicata a San Francesco ed alla Laudato sii. Cerignale conta soltanto 127 abitanti ma deve rappresentare, per il suo positivo recupero, l’esempio da seguire per i 5700 piccoli comuni italiani. Non perdete la puntata, Cerignale vi sorprenderà!
Buona visione.
Tv2000 è visibile sul canale 28 del dt oppure sull’140 di Sky.
