“Venice at Dawn: A Look into the City’s Daily Rhythm”

In this episode, we explore Venice in the early morning, when the city’s quieter side becomes more visible. We discuss how trash is collected by handcarts and boats instead of cars, and how a special “vacuum boat” helps deal with wastewater for buildings not fully connected to modern sewers. We also touch on Venice’s shifting water levels—visible in the shells clinging to walls—and the MOSE Project, a movable barrier aimed at protecting the city from high tides. Lastly, we note that Venice isn’t just one crowded tourist spot: each island offers its own atmosphere, and it’s surprisingly easy to find peaceful corners.
