Venice is always a good idea

🎭 W E L C O M E T O V E N I C E 🚤 - Sharing some fun facts I learned about Venice: 1. Venice is shaped like a fish (Yes, you read that right. Don’t believe me - head over to Google and check out the aerial view)! 2. Venice is sinking - yes, I’m sure most of us know this more well known fact, but did you know that the Italian government has been trying to prevent Venice from sinking since 1973. 3. The local population of Venice is lessening by the year. 30 years ago there were 120,000 locals compared the to current 60,000 or so at the moment. Experts say that by 2030 the true locals could actually all disappear. Okay, I think I’ve just convinced myself that I should follow my Grandmother’s Italian roots and move to Venice and become a Venetian. 4. Venetian’s speak their own language that is not considered to be a dialect of Italian. 5. Venice ruled itself for 1,100 years and apparently the island of Crete and Cyprus were also under it’s rule for some time. ~ 📌SAVE POST FOR FUTURE TRAVELS TO📍VENICE, ITALY (photo taken near SIAE Sede di Venezia) Shot with @nikoneurope • 🎭🚤🤍 #italia #bellaitalia #italytravel #venice #venezia #veniceitaly #igersvenezia #visitvenice #visititaly #venicelove #beautiful_italy #veneciaitalia #veneziacityitaly #italydestinations #venicegram #italytrip #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations
