Caterina Nardin was born in England but moved back to Venice with her parents because her father missed his hometown. Caterina describes the challenges facing this city built of islands and accessible only by water. From its apex as a maritime and commercial power in the middle ages to the present day, this place has drawn the rich and famous and the creative and adventurous. Because Venice is so beautiful and unique, it draws flocks of visitors, creating problems of sustainable tourism. This coupled with the rising water levels in the canals and lagoon has produced a need for inventive solutions.

Italy Inside Out
01/29/21 • 30 min
Paola Messana was a successful international journalist living in many of the world's largest cities. When she retired, she found her way to a small village in Sardegna where she bought and renovated a house into a B&B. She then purchased a small farm outside of the town with olive and fruit trees and a view over the Mediterranean Sea. She has discovered a sense of peacefulness and serenity caring for her farm and recommends such a life to others. Paola has Russian and Italian heritage and so it is not surprising that she feels at home in an Italian village where many Russian people have vacation residences.
