Abstract:
Venice, Italy, has captured the hearts and intrigue of people for centuries. From its status as a major power in the Western world during the Medieval and Renaissance period to its contemporary status as a destination for romance and art, the city is considered among the most beautiful and the most beloved in the world. However, love alone is not enough to save the city of Venice from a fate many fear: that the water, which was once the lifeblood of Venice, will turn against the city and make it unhabitable.
