They aren't neglected buildings they are century old buildings lol. They not going to look brand new. Venice does a lot of work of the infrastructure, albeit not enough with the rising water levels.

[@stefdalmo]

I agreed definitely

[@marthaworthington6060]

THIS Is the way we would all love to have experienced this world treasure. Not so long ago Venice struggled with the horrific floods ,now THIS. She IS a survivor so with God's help may SHE rise once again. Have seen her twice , each time during the fall when it was less crowded about 35 years apart and yes the water damage and sinking was noticeable. However the garbage floating in the canals had been almost ellimated with no odors. This was a relief, as I had been so worried the pollution of the canals would be worse. VENICE MUST BE PRESERVED AT ANY COST, there are not enough words to express the beauty of this magical city as well Italy as a whole. We in the U.S. hear daily about the horrible COVID 19 effects on hard hit Italy and are praying this will end soon. I fell in LOVE with the Italian people in all areas of Italy, their enthusiasm, hospitable, kind and genuine nature will be remembered always.

@ I totally agree with your propositiin to make it a destination for high class, not low class tourism, like today. it is incredible that local authorities are not able to protect the city like it deserves. In Bergen Norway already the local authorities have passed laws to limit the number of cruise ships that are allowed to embark, because these kind of mass tourism do not bring cash , they just destroy and make it crowded

[@janetyoung1033]

@@Frue_denFrie I visited Venice for the first time last year. We stayed 9 days and we loved it. What I didn't like was the massive cruise ships. They are way to big, and they cause much damage. But Venice and it's people are just amazing. It needs more than 2 or 3 days to see it.

They could throw their anker outside the city and people could come by other means to see the city. It is obvious that Bella Venetia benefits from a bit of a rest. Tourism can be managed in different ways, it wouldn’t have to be always total overload. Let’s see what positive lessons can be learned from this time. I am so glad I had the great pleasure of visiting Venice for a whole week, I arrived 2 days after Carnevale and the city was relatively empty.
