😳 8 March 2020. Italy goes in total lockdown for the first time in its history! I remember my last guest who left just the day before and was able to catch the last flight back home before all airports shut down 🙏🏻💓✈️ 😅
The world soon changed for everyone of us and we all got used to words like virus, pandemic, social distancing, #quarantine... Yes, Quarantine: do you know that this word is Venetian? Venice was the first city in the world to invent and implement "Quarantena" (which stands for "40 days"). This dates back in Medieval times due to the frequent plagues that threatened the city. Venice was the biggest port of the world and every ship (with its crew) that came from abroad was forced to stay 40 days "parked" in one of the numerous islands of the #Lagoon, to prevent the spread of illnesses unknown to the city. This of course didn't work all the time, because the hygiene standards were rather poor and plagues spread frequently, but the Quarantena practice saved many lives for sure and was adopted by all countries in the world as a standard of health control.
I post a video of my Venice Quarantine Tour across the Lagoon, anyone can enjoy with me when here 😊😃

🧳📸🗺 Exactly 2 years ago Misuzu from #Japan 🇯🇵 was here in #VeniceRocksRoom, and this is what she witnessed in Venice and #Burano on those days. I remember having a great time with her together with my dear guest Cheryl from #Australia 🇦🇺 one night at #OsteriaLisca in #Mestre. 😃🤟🔝

🎼24 November 1941. Happy 80th Birthday 🥳🍾 to Giuseppe "Pino" Donaggio, born in #Burano island, Venice and longtime vacationeer in #myhometown Auronzo di #Cadore, #Dolomites.
His name won't tell much to the majority, but #PinoDonaggio was a singer, musician and above all prominent composer since the 1960s. Most of his career is characterized by film scores, having written soundtracks for horror icons such has #DarioArgento, #BrianDePalma, #LucioFulci, #JoeDante: to name a few more #PupiAvati, #TintoBrass and the music for Italian legendary comedy #NonCiRestaChePiangere by #RobertoBenigni and #MassimoTroisi.
However Donaggio will be forever remembered for writing many Italian 1960s hits, his biggest one went international in 1965 and sold 80 million records worldwide!!! 😳👏
The song was called "Io che non vivo", and was performed in English as "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" by #DustySpringfield, #ElvisPresley, #PaulAnka among the others. In the Chat Room some of these versions👇

🗾 Few know and visit the island of Sant'Erasmo.
It's the 2nd biggest island in the Lagoon, it's between Venice and #Burano (see in the map bordered in red☝️) and it's totally devoted to farming and fruits and vegetable growing.

🎸🗺 Few know that #GeoffTate owns a Travel Agency with his wife, its purpose is to give fans the opportunity to travel and stay with him wherever he goes to play live.
#Italy is of course one of his favorite destinations, he comes every year in Venice too!
Here's a photo of Tate in #Burano island last year.
