Venice

on BBC Two England

4/4. Death. Venice's fate hangs in the balance. Since Byron put the city on the tourist map, life has become increasingly hard for the Venetians. But Francesco da Mosto continues to live and raise his children there, though he has seen the dangers the city faces. In the 1966 flood, he was a terrified child watching waters invade his home.
Outrageous modernising ideas also threaten Venice: from bridges linking the city with mainland Italy to flattening churches and converting the Grand Canal into an eight-lane motorway.
Producer Sam Hobkinson ; Executive producer Basil Comely RT DIRECT: hardback book Francesco's Venice £20 (rrp £25), incl p&p. To order call [number removed] (national rate)
