The mayor of the city yesterday decided to close St. Mark’s Square completely.As the city is 80% underwater, a state of emergency has been declared.Italian Culture Minister Dario estimated that “the devastation is apocalyptic and total” in Venice.
There is a project to save Venice since 2013.But there was a lot of fraud when building, a 19-door structure called “Moze”Because of the tragedy that has struck this city, this is not the first time I want to quote our president who said the following.The quote “” I was deeply shaken by the scenes of flooded Venice, that unique symbol of Italian and world civilization … Serbia is in these difficult moments with Italy and, as a trusted friend, ready, with strong support, to provide every kind of assistance in eliminating it the consequences of a natural disaster and the restoration of valuable cultural heritage “
He also said that Serbia will always remember the help of the Italian Government when Serbia was hit by the floods of 2014.
It is precisely in these difficult situations, regardless of the nature of the cataclysm that occurs to us, that human solidarity and a willingness to help another nation come to the fore.
I think people struggle for the survival of their species.

This is very sad. I hope the floods did not do too much irreparable damage.
Thank you very much .vidocka.
Sorry, I just saw your comment today, I’m doing less well here.
No problem, Robert. This is happening to me too ?
Very sorry for the flooding in your city. It is sad and very disturbing. I have been through a couple of floods with our home in Louisiana. The river bank gave way on one and another, the drainage just could not handle the rainfall. Our house is still gutted due to personal health and work schedules. Hopefully, we can get back to work on it once my husband retires next week.
Yes floods are as terrible as fires and other natural disasters.
In an instant you lose your home and everything you’ve been creating for more years.
That is exactly right. Your home is also left damaged and major repairs to be done to be able to live in it again. Lost of your possessions that are lost cannot be replaced either.
This is very concerning and I fear it will keep happening every year…
Venice is sinking every year, heavy rains and floods only make the situation worse.
Venice underwater was a long projected sad reality. The great sea wall (more than 10 billion spent so far) is still non-functional. The waters continue to rise.
The flooding is terrible. I feel horrible for those who live there.
Criminal proceedings were initiated against the contractor. but the cultural treasure of Venice has none of it.
it is a very sad reality, what is lost, what is reclaimed.
It’s really so sad, there’s little we can do against nature.
She is stronger than us.
very much stronger than us. Great article Robin, I wish there was a happy easy answer.
We live on a living planet and like everything I believe it will in time die. I keep seeing evidence every day. I hope the people there conquer the sadness and save what they can.
Yes friend, all goodwill people hope so.
And not just in Venice.
In all the affected places, and there are many.
Poor Venice. I hope it can recover soon. I want to visit Venice one day
And I hope the situation will improve, of course, if it doesn’t rain again.
That’s so sad. It is a destructive flood bringing almost everything to a standstill.
And these floods are repeated.
And people need time to solve the problem, of course, if at all possible.
It’s costly to come up with a solution to deal with it but better the costly solution than letting it repeat itself.
They have a project, but there will be some machinations, abuses during the works.
So the works are slowed down and not finished.
but this isn’t proof of climate destabilization! we can continue denying the dangers of fossil fuels and lose even more cities…
I just described what was happening in Venice.
I have not written about the evidence. The climate in the world is changing by its rules.
People cannot prevent it, except to repair damage.
climate destabilization is very preventable- stop using fossil fuels
What solution do you propose?
stop using fossil fuels, transition to renewable energy sources
I watched the news about this sad story. I have visited Venice and I have such great memories specially of St. Mark’s Square with those pigeons all over me with music in the background. .
I believe you have fond memories.
Because Venice is a beautiful and specific city in Europe and Italy.
I really want to go to Venice, it is so sad what is happening.
Hopefully things will get better tomorrow.
it is unfortunate that Venice experienced such a flood. Hopefully, soon there will be the best effective effort to overcome the problem.
The Italian state has been trying to solve the problem for a long time, but it has problems
Apparently the problem was too difficult to overcome…
The human factor, that is, behavior caused delays in the completion of the project.
Sorry to see this was on our news last night as well. I have always wanted to visit Venice and this is a result of global warming.
I believe that you will visit Venice one day and other beautiful cities in Europe.
That will be nice I really would like to
Such a sad situation. I hope things can be recovered without too much water damage.
Water knows how to do damage.
And in Venice we have so much historical and cultural treasure.
They have to be fast.
