Venice: La Serenissima. For the past six hundred years, this small island city floating in the northern Adriatic has held a mystique all its own that no other place on Earth has ever rivaled. From the Crusades to the Renaissance, Venice has overcome many obstacles and transitions in its past, but only in this century has it met a rival that could finally spell its ruin and, ironically, it’s the very thing that brought it great wealth and esteem so many centuries ago: water. Initially, it sounds absurd, that a city with such a rich and powerful history could just slowly disappear into the sea. That’s exactly what it’s doing, while a good number of people are already discouraged and packing their bags, eyes set for dry ground. The rest have remained behind and decided to fight the tide and find a way to save this beloved city from a slow and miserable decay.
