Venice's mayor declared a state of emergency floods swept through the city, flooding its historic basilica and inundating squares and centuries-old buildings. The floods were at the highest level since 1966.
Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro blamed climate change for the disaster. "Venice is on its knees," said Brugnaro. "The damage will run into hundreds of millions of euros." The floods, accentuated by driving rains and strong winds, also ravaged areas beyond the city itself.
I was there a few days ago and these are big sellers for 10€. Aren’t they stylish? They sucked, and leaked. I suggest bring good high waterproof boots.

Isn’t it sort lying at sea level? It floods once and awhile?
Venice is... flooding. Think about that for a minute.
Country makes all the money from tourist and doesn’t protect there best asset.
Venice has no chance. Facts don't care about the lies from Fox News.
In the future perhaps humans will have the foresight to build large cities well above sea level
I feel for Venice. I’m from New Orleans. We know a little about flooding. It’s not fun. 🙏🏻 prayers the water recedes.

I thought it was once called the 'sinking City'... Greenhouse effect is taking a toll on us. Save the planet, plant trees and use renewable Energy. RenewableEnergy
Sounds like a lack of planning and infrastructure to me.
I've been to Venice twice-visits seem dreamlike, an oddity. A lot of building/development has been done throughout history, but i can't help think whole location wouldve been better left as wildlife reserve,totally undeveloped.Houses in water is like houses in a tinder-dry forest
Too bad we all can’t smell it
They should hire some good flood engineers. May be expensive but not that difficult.
Domme mensen die in Venetië wonen en werken, maar niks doen om zich te beschermen tegen de ellende van het water ELK JAAR weer!.
Amazing they have flood mitigation’s which aren’t working!
MAY BE IT IS HIGH TIME TO RAISE THE CITY ABOUT 10FT. TO 12 FT. OR OTHER FAIR SOLUTION. YOU CAN'T LIVE LIKE THAT.
climate change is real! if all the jet setters wld keep flying over to visit geort clooney this wld not have happened!! sue his azz
