Head out of the water

EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS, UNCONTROLLED RAIN AND THE SPECTRUM OF ‘ACQUAGRANDA’ HAVE FORCED PADUA AND VENICE TO REVIEW AND UPDATE THEIR ANTI-FLOODING PLANS

DESPITE THE DEFENCE OF THE MOSE, THE SQUARE MOST LOVED BY TOURISTS HAS SUBMERGED ALSO DUE TO SUBSIDENCE. BECAUSE IT IS NOW SEVERAL CENTIMETERS BELOW THE QUAY, ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS MUST BE ACTIVATED TO DRAIN THE FLOWING WATER DURING HIGH TIDE.
