Gianni Berengo Gardin's Tale of Two Cities: The dramatic story of a controversial photography exhibition and the escalating battle over cruise ships in Venice.

Gianni Berengo Gardin’s Tale of Two Cities examines the photographer’s commitment to Venice, and the profound impact of globalization on the city, including giant cruise ships traveling through the heart of historic Venice and unsustainable tourism.


How can the endangered city of Venice be preserved? Gianni Berengo Gardin, Italy’s most famous living photographer, embraced this challenge with his powerful photographs and controversial exhibition that triggered debate, protests and an international outcry. Tensions explode in the ensuing climactic events.
