Rating: - Virtual Tourist
This series is far more than a tourist trap - particularly as guide Francesco da Mosto would rather there were less visitors to his city (to buy less fake glass/carnival masks/plastic gondolas/jester hats)! Francesco is charming, witty and wonderfully insouciant as he presents an informative yet dramatic history of Venice, La Serenissima. He acknowledges its past arrogance and mistakes, whilst laughing at some of the more bizarre traditions (even he isn't sure about the election of the doges), but ... Read More

Rating: - The first and best series by this brilliant presenter- essential viewing
The lushest and most elegant of Francesco da Mosto's series to date (see also Francesco's Italy - Top To Toe and Francesco's Mediterranean Voyage) this is written and presented by someone who is passionate about his home town and his trading ancestry. It's a history, it's a guide to the architecture, it's a social commentary on modern life in a tourist town. The historical reconstructions are nicely appropriate- generally silent appearances of Italians in the appropriate costume. The direction is superb ... Read More

Rating: - The spirit of Venice is woven into Francesco's soul!
The best reviews are always those whose author is well versed in the subject ~ seemingly an obvious point but something that is all too often ignored ~ and if the reviewer also loves his or her subject matter with a passion, so much the better.

It would be hard to find a more poetic, seductive reviewer than this super sexy man, who is clearly first a Venetian and second an Italian! Francesco draws the viewer in like an angler teasing a fish until you are well and truly hooked!
