So nobody even tries anylonger to hide it. And we, the few who live here, already knew it. I think few thought it was a good development but that's life in a such a narrow minded city. This place work just with tourists...and not the most beuatiful ones.
In these days there is a Xmas advertisement about doing shopping in Venice. You can read it in every single national newspaper: the concept is: Venice is the best commercial center ever! Why don' t you have a look?!
Nothing else to promote this old and historical city...really, nothing else...
In the last few years I always thought I was born in a commercial center, maybe a very ecleptic one, planned by a freaky architect but just that. ANd I don't think to be smarter than many other people living here...
But, damned!, how can people be proud of this and just of this?
An example just to give some data : there is one (1) cinema in Venice, with two halls: the big one has some 400 hundred seats; the small not more than 100...and we are the city of the "famous" film festival...unfortunately it lasts ten days...
So for ten days a year we are not just a commercial center but something more...
How can I stay here longer than two more months? No way.
