I love Venice and go there whenever financially possible. I highly recommend this video to anyone interested in history. It gives an very good brief history of the origins of the Most Serene lady of the sea and to everyone else just because it is so well done and offers beautiful sites of a beautiful and important city in the history of Italy and Europe and the Mediterranean world. As one other reviewer said it's a good introduction to the city for anyone preparing to make their first visit there.
Great

I so love Venice, it is a second home to me..... loved watching this video and also showing it to friends who haven't had the chance to come & visit yet. Whether you are an arm-chair traveler or are planning a visit to Venice or have visited many times, this video will make you appreciate and wonder at the uniqueness that is La Serenissima.
I was hoping for more information about the early history and construction of Venice, which this video covers in a somewhat cursory and crudely illustrated fashion, but then passes on to the usual touristic pastiche. There is little real information about the "miraculous canals."
if you into the unknown this is perfect. you want to know how was venice formed watch the dvd. it a lovely place try watching before going
