    Floods!: acqua alta
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: The last 100 years , the ground of Venice has lost 23cm because of the water rise and the solifluction.The Venetian people have used to this situation (acqua alta) and during flood period they protect their houses and their stores with tones of sand sacks.

    Doges Palace: Doges palace columns
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: There is a legend saying that when the noblemen wanted to convict someone they were sending him to pass a test that would prove his innocence or not.The test was to walk with success from one column to the next without losing the balance and stepping the ground just in front of the columns.But as you can notice in the pic, one of the last columns is built quite different than the others making that effort more than impossible sending all those poor men to prison or to death.
