00:02Há no meio assim como Venice.

00:05Uma das riquezesの place on earth for centuries,

00:07this floating city was the preeminent centre

00:10for East-West Exchange.

00:12Isso que pode explicar

00:13por que Venice's most iconic symbol

00:16tem distant and quite unexpected origins.

00:19We think we discovered that the lion is Chinese.

00:22In western Hunan province,

00:24we'll explore a craft that's woven into the local fabric.

00:27The bride behind me is wearing a special Miao wedding dress.

00:30And in Miao culture, mothers weave their blessings into their daughters' wedding dresses.

00:35Every stitch is a cherished memory.

00:37Each pattern, a wish for the future.

00:40Welcome to Crossing Cultures.

00:42Join us as we explore the very best traditions of both China and Europe.

00:51Nothing really prepares you for the majesty of Venice.

00:54From its stunning architecture and picturesque canals,

00:57to the sheer audacity of those who built it.

01:00But delve beneath the surface and there's a darker side.

01:04It's a story of power, seduction and sin.

01:08But also creativity, one that goes to the very heart of the Venetian soul.

01:13One place that vividly brings that story to life is Samarkana.

01:17For over 40 years, it has turned the centuries-old craft of Venetian mask-making

01:21into a true art form.

01:24Davide, what are you working on right now?

01:26Well, I'm creating a new mask.

01:29So I have a negative form.

01:31I have this special kind of paper called wallpaper.

01:34I'm going to combine in a certain way to register all the details of the mold,

01:40creating then the new positive mask.

01:43And is this the process that would have been used centuries ago?

01:47For sure, yes.

01:48People used to use the same technique.

01:50So a negative form and a positive form made with a mask inside it.

01:56And how do you choose the designs?

01:57Are you guided by tradition or do you create new styles?

02:00Well, it depends.

02:02There are some masks that have certain iconographies,

02:05but then there are many masks that are fantasy-based

02:08or they are inspired by books, by films and so on.

02:12Beautifully hand-painted, many masks are playful.

02:16Others are slightly macabre and unsettling.

02:19The result is a wonderful, albeit weird, world.

02:22But who wore them and why?

02:24Well, at the time of the Republic of Venice,

02:27in the past centuries, everybody could wear a mask.

02:30Nobles and commoners to hide their identity.

02:33Then there are other masks for carnival that everybody could wear as well.

02:37that could have been any kind of mask.

02:42Now, from this family of mask makers here in Venice,

02:45let's uncover another ancient craft in China.

02:48Igor, over to you.

02:59The Miao are one of China's oldest ethnic groups.

03:03In the misty mountains of western Hunan,

03:06they weave their stories in thread and color.

03:09遠古時期的苗族

03:11歷經了五千多年的迁徙

03:13在迁徙的過程當中

03:14苗族會把自己

03:17經歷的一些地方

03:19然後經歷的一些故事

03:21會繡在服飾上

03:22然後逐步演變到

03:24現在呢

03:25其實苗秀是苗族婦女

03:28然後用來装點生活的

03:30一種很美的工藝

03:32我知道苗族可能沒有文字

03:35但會不會用

03:36這樣的一個方式

03:37把自己的世界觀

03:38que o valor vai ser usado?

04:08A minha tradição é um casamento de casamento de casamento de casamento de casamento.

04:38A minha tradição é um casamento de casamento de casamento de casamento.

05:08A minha tradição é um casamento de casamento de casamento de casamento.

05:38A minha tradição é um casamento de casamento de casamento de casamento de casamento.

05:56Generais ago, the Miao people carried their embroidery into the mountains, preserving color and memory through time.

06:04Now, through Ihua's hands, these threads of tradition journey outward again, sharing their story with the world.

06:12The tales of Venetian explorer Marco Polo, written some 700 years ago, are the first European account of the Orient.

06:32But to what extent were Venice's links already forged with the Far East and China before his journey there?

06:39Could the city's symbol tell us more?

06:42Gilberto, what have you discovered?

06:44We think we discovered that the lion is Chinese.

06:47The original copper that was used for casting is from China.

06:52And what does this discovery mean for our understanding of Venetian history and Venice's connections with the wider world?

07:00Well, the lion was up there when Marco Polo left.

07:03He saw it up there.

07:04As a matter of fact, we think that, you know, given the aesthetics and the shape of the casting, it's probably of time period.

07:13So it goes back to at least 400 years or 300 years before Marco Polo left.

07:19Do we have any idea how it got here?

07:23No.

07:23But we know that the Silk Roads, not only the road ones, but also the maritime ones, were opened way before.

07:31So there were clearly exchanges to Southeast Asia and China.

07:36So made in China, but a very long time ago.

07:40Absolutely.

07:45From the wonders of Venice to the beauty of Hunan province, what a fantastic journey it's been through centuries of art and craft.

07:51Until the next time, thanks for watching.
