Venice is sinking! You can read many articles on the Internet about Venice’s war against the seas. Despite several emergency measures and new construction Venice is flooded many times a year. One day when we were window shopping (no surprise here) in the piazza San Marco we heard a loud wailing sound. Soon after we saw water bubbling up through the grates which stopped before we had to roll up our trouser legs. There are numerous platforms stacked around San Marco in case the waters rise too high.
