Good documentary, but...
I felt kind of sad after watching this documentary. A city losing it's identity and becoming more and more an amusement park is indeed very sad.
I felt it while i lived in Firenze, the city center over there is full of tourists, luxury and touristics stores everywhere, and gelateria every 15 seconds while you walk. The italians ? Also living outside of the center, no choice of leaving because of how the city has become.
And obviouvsly, it's worse at Venezia, and it must be heartbreaking for its (fewer and fewer) inhabitants, as shown with the interviews of some of them in this documentary ("it's like walking in a cemetary" even says one of them). Once one of the most populated city in the world, now less than 49'000 inhabitants, about 59'000 when this documentary was shot 10 years ago, and millions of tourists every year.
Overall this Netflix documentary is interesting, thanks to the opinion of the locals, and showing the bad side of the mass tourism. But nothing really new, i think lot of people saw or heard how bad it has become. At least here we have the point of view of the people living there.
