This Is Italy
It is not cheap to admire the beauty of Venice from a gondola. But that didn't stop these four tourists from having their eyeballs glued to their smartphones during the trip.
a despondent gondolier the company filmed and posted the video with his sarcastic commentary on Facebook.
'A fantastic run. The customers were very happy, they enjoyed the beauty of the city and really appreciated it. They took a lot of pictures, made nice comments and said to come back soon to this great city.”
In the Italian newspaper Courier columnist Aldo Cazzullo wrote the following about this:
"What's the point of traveling the world and spending a lot of money if you just get caught by the screen of your phone?"
He added that the gondolier had done well to alert us to the danger of living a virtual rather than a real one. But he also had a word of criticism for him: "He made no attempt to bring them back to life by telling a story or singing a song."
