In Venice, it is not uncommon to see tourists carry suitcases through waist-high water, or sit at tables in Piazza San Marco their swimsuits. Pictures of Venice in the most dramatic flooding are really alarming.
We are used to thinking of Venice as a city in danger, a glorious relic of human creativity that is about to sink any day suddenly the end looks (close). However, as climate change makes extreme weather more frequent, Venice looks less like a victim of the sea and more like an old survivor can teach the rest of the world now to live with wafer.
People barely notice smartly the art treasures of Venice are kept on the upper floors of palaces and museums, even on a dry summer day. It is also needless to worry about all the art in churches no other city has such a sharp awareness of protecting itself from water.
In their art, the people of Venice are as happy on water as on land. Vittore Carpaccio's painting Hunting on the Lagoon shows young Venetians standing easily balanced in low-sided boats (shoot) arrows at water birds. In a Gentile Bellini's painting, priests swim in the canal searching for a lost relic. Titian portrays ashot woman (bathe) in open water in his painting. Hunting and fishing, swimming and showing. Venetians always know how to enjoy water.
The palaces (build) in Venice are also good examples of the prevention of flood. has its living spaces on upper floors, often with a courtyard on the ground floor that (drain) water instantly.
