When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's amore.
When the world seems a shine like you've had too much wine that's more

you sing the
the Valusia Vanessa welcome to Venice a city that has inspired writers artists
and lovers alike today I'll be going through expressions connected to love
and discussing their origins some of which have connections with the city of
Venice itself Lag you've had too much wine that's
amore
so I'm here during acqua alta which means a high water Venice is of course
of famous with being a city on a water but I really am risking getting some
very wet beats today so why don't you join me on a tour of Venice while I
explain the origins and meanings of some of our most famous idiomatic expressions
in English all connected with love
your dance down the street okay especially number one to thank someone
will turn up someone like more from the bottom of your who knocks this
expression actually originates within the ancient Greek philosopher Archimedes
we believed that it was the heart that was responsible for thinking and feeling
brave have two blood around the body means that you are expressing a time
you're feeling and to really ascertain the facts who can love the sauce on your
neck you love someone the bottom of your father's
expression number two to wear your heart on your sleeve this is your fleet the
expression was originally used in William Shakespeare's Othello in 1604
quite a way back it was used by Largo to express his desire to show himself as
honest faithful and true to wear your heart on your sleeve implies a sense of
openness however there are some suggestions that the expression
originated as far back as the Middle Ages when Knights used to wear colored
ribbons on their sleeve to show which lady avait is supported and fought for
so to wear your heart on your sleeve
when you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreaming silly
at number three to fall in love why is it that we say fall in love and not rise
in love to fall implies a sense of a fear of the unknown many of the symptoms
are falling in love that that initial realization that you are falling for
somebody can be very negative insomnia dizziness lack of concentration
butterflies in your stomach a sense of feeling unwell and that is why we say to
fall in love and not to rise in love bells ring ting-a-ling-a-ling
ting-a-ling-a-ling you sing the okay expression number four to have a
crush on somebody this is often associated with a
teenagers and it means to have an infatuation a strong desire for somebody
to really like them I wouldn't say that it's love but it could potentially
become love crush the original meaning no longer used in this way originates
back as early as the eighteen hundred's the term comes from the idea of an
entanglement at a social gathering or dance to crush to be entangled with some
body so there's the meaning of that to have a crush on someone
scusa leave as you see bagging or Napoli that's amore
behind me the Bridge of Sighs a very popular tourist attraction to come and
take photos so it's rather busy so the Bridge of Sighs is incredibly famous
because it was at the point that prisoners went across from prison to the
Doge's Palace where they were executed so the name the Bridge of Sighs comes
from that last breath of life taken at before their executions not a
particularly a nice history so my next expression number five love
is aligned another expression coined by William Shakespeare and in fact used in
many of his plays including the Merchant of Venice now the expression love is
blind it does make a lot of sense really often when we fall in love for our sense
of logic and reason goes out the window in fact in 2004 the University College
of London found evidence to support the idea that the logical part of our brain
is actually suppressed when we fall in love therefore love is blind when the
moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's amore
when the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine that's more a
bell so rain ting-a-ling-a-ling ting-a-ling-a-ling
you sing the
right the last stop on our tour of Venice the rialto bridge as you can see
one of the biggest tourist attractions in Venice as it is in fact the first
bridge to have been built across at the grand canal one of four it was
originally constructed in the 12th century as a platoon so I hope that
quick tour of Venice and those five expressions and their origins were of
some interest thank you for watching I'm gonna go now to it's too cold and the
stream ladoris bye
