Venice in Peril, again

[bungeejumper]

Gosh, that looks like a mess. I was in St Mark's Square in 1969, three years after the 1966 floods that had been only three inches higher than this one, and they still hadn't cleared the watermarks on the doors of the basilica. Or anywhere else, for that matter.

Sobering. Especially when you consider that Venice has sunk by two or three inches during the intervening half century.

On a lighter note, does that "walkway" that collapsed look a bit like canteen dining tables to you?

I was quite amused by the mayor's comment that this would leave "a permanent mark".
