Living in Venice: an opportunity for a good quality of life | Cristina Gregorin | TEDxSanMarco
Today, many people consider Venice a fun tourist destination and not somewhere they would choose to live.
The strong commercial pressure from the tourist industry, and the lack of political interest in the preservation of the city's identity, have caused a shift in how it is perceived: from a magic place rich in art treasures into a sort of overcrowded theme park.
Contrary to this general view, Venice offers a very high quality of life that is slow paced, and based on human relationships and cultural engagement.
Ethical investors and new citizens attracted by this unique way of life, and who are motivated to become part of the Venetian community, could change the destiny of Venice. And they could contribute to saving a great international cultural heritage. Cristina is a Cultural Heritage Expert and a Venice guide. She specializes in offering a multifaceted experience of Venice, given at a slower pace, one that incorporates the history and the stories of this singular city in a way that brings the past alive. She has collaborated with the UNESCO and the Council of Europe in the field of Cultural Heritage and is the author of a number of books and articles on Venice. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

Originally created by legendary game designer Sid Meier, Civilization is a turn-based strategy game in which you attempt to build an empire to stand the test of time. Become Ruler of the World by establishing and leading a civilization from the Stone Age to the Information Age. Wage war, conduct diplomacy, advance your culture, and go head-to-head with history’s greatest leaders as you attempt to build the greatest civilization the world has ever known.
Civilization VI offers new ways to engage with your world: cities now physically expand across the map, active research in technology and culture unlocks new potential, and competing leaders will pursue their own agendas based on their historical traits as you race for one of five ways to achieve victory in the game.
EXPANSIVE EMPIRES:
See the marvels of your empire spread across the map like never before. Each city spans multiple tiles so you can custom build your cities to take full advantage of the local terrain.
ACTIVE RESEARCH:
Unlock boosts that speed your civilization’s progress through history. To advance more quickly, use your units to actively explore, develop your environment, and discover new cultures.
DYNAMIC DIPLOMACY:
Interactions with other civilizations change over the course of the game, from primitive first interactions where conflict is a fact of life, to late game alliances and negotiations.
COMBINED ARMS:
Expanding on the “one unit per tile” design, support units can now be embedded with other units, like anti-tank support with infantry, or a warrior with settlers. Similar units can also be combined to form powerful “Corps” units.
ENHANCED MULTIPLAYER:
In addition to traditional multiplayer modes, cooperate and compete with your friends in a wide variety of situations all designed to be easily completed in a single session.
A CIV FOR ALL PLAYERS:
Civilization VI provides veteran players new ways to build and tune their civilization for the greatest chance of success. New tutorial systems introduce new players to the underlying concepts so they can easily get started.
