    this is a misquote, confused with the Italian proverb of "see Naples and die", which of course was at a time when Naples was more prominent on the Italian peninsula. and one should note that this has been misquoted about just about every major tourist center of Italy: "see Florence and die", "see Milan and die", "see(insert city) and die".

      Mori is a town close by Venice. I was told many years ago Vedi Venezia e mori is sort of a double entente. The word mori’s meaning is death.
      Vedi Venezia e Mori. The phrase gained popularity a very long time ago. Then people, possibly foreigners, ie non Italians who traveled in Italy as tourists or lived there as ex-patriots altered the phrase. See Florence and die...etc, etc.
