Description
A breathtaking journey through the ages, telling the story of one of the
world's most famous and beautiful cities. This lavish, landmark series explores
how a place with no firm ground, no crops, no indigenous riches and no land army
came to snatch success from the jaws of failure time and time again - right up
to the present day. Step back in time to early Venice, recreated by the magic of
CGI. See wooden houses on stilts replaced by the daring rebuild in stone and
brick.
Witness the Sacking of Constantinople and the Venice of Casanova, Napoleon,
Byron and Mussolini. The stunning recreations and dramatisations in each episode
are enriched by insights from charismatic aristocrat, architect and historian
Francesco da Mosto. His family has lived in Venice for over a thousand years
and, far from having that sinking feeling, he believes passionately in the
future of this miraculous city...
