“We are dying out, soon we will disappear. The city prefers to be inhabited by someone else: not so much by other categories of human beings but by another way of being in the world.”

Are you planning a trip to
#Venice
in the near future?
The city can be exasperating, disorienting, & challenging. It can also be the most magnificent place you will ever visit. We’ve thought about the questions we’re often asked & decided to write a 🧵with resources. Andiamo ~

If you are visiting
#Venice
now please be respectful of all public places & businesses. To some a flooded city is a frivolity, but it is not. It is a deadly serious outcome of the climate crisis and our arrogant interference with mother nature.

“My favourite thing to do in Venice is walk around in the middle of the night in January. You have this iconic city almost entirely to yourself, utterly silent, utterly serene. The only thing you hear is the sound of your own footsteps…”

The Venetians took matters into their own hands and removed the turnstiles that were set up this weekend for the massive Bank holiday influx of tourists. Viva Venezia!
