Saving Venice from sinking, the race against time is on for La Serenissima

[@eastcoastmusicmachine7989]

I visited in 2919 and left 24 hours before the flood hit. I asked a tour guide whether people were concerned, living in buildings set on ancient foundations made of mud and logs: she looked at me like I was crazy and said you just don’t use the flooded first floor of your home if you live in Venice. Yeeesh

[@jamesadams893]

Visiting from so far in the future you must have concerns that any information you give will be disastrous for the future

[@LisaAnderson-fe3uj]

You’re paying for the expirée ce at Cafe Florian. The waiters are in tuxedos. The service is wonderful and the building is beautiful. You’re not rushed. You can sit outside in one of the most beautiful squares in Europe and gaze at the basilica and bell tower and contemplate the history that surrounds you while sipping your tea or coffee.

[@jkardez4794]

Glad to know that you don't belong to the 90% category of humanity who can't afford to contemplate life in ghettos like Venice - they are wondering how to squeeze the last penny out of roadside foodstalls and bazaars .

My favourite City. Visited many times in the 70's. Had a beautiful memory of Venice. I hope to go back one day. Also visiting the island of Murano and saw the amazing glass blowing. Had a great guide called Nino Pyer Never for get him. He showed me the smallest lane in Venice. Calle Varisco.

It's called a museum. The venetian population cannot afford to live there either. They live in the tenement buildings surrounding Venice. Not so sure just how truly helpful tourism is, anywhere. Every nation should be self sufficient and get along, no doubt. The water was sky blue when I was there but I was told I'd be arrested if I dove into any canal and swam. :(

The sea-level rise has been modest. Most of the problem is subsidence. Perhaps you didn’t notice the professor in this video explaining this and proposing an engineering solution to the (human-caused) subsidence issue. Unfortunately the sea-level rise we’ve locked in for the coming decades is not so easy to reverse.

This was invitable - the original builders assumed thar nature did not matter and built the city on a very important flood plain. They chopped down a forest to put loads of slilts to build the city on and forgot about where the water would go. Now present day people have to bear the cost of maintainance - time to let the whole city go back to the sea. a real pity but nature will have its way

[@jkardez4794]

The tides call the shots - on certain bright sunny dry days you'll find the city inundated with more than a feet of water. The city has been sinking for a long time from the days it was built using timber buried deep into the sediment . The basic premise of its construction has condemned it to its obsolescence .
