Venice in Peril is a charity organisation which aims to preserve Venice. Funds are used to finance restoration and research into the flooding problem.
Apparently, if the city is not protected from the waters, Venice will be uninhabitable by the 21st century.
Can you imagine not reading about travelers' romantic gondola ride experience? Can you imagine not seeing pictures of Rialto and St. Mark's Square?
If you have experienced Venice, you would surely not want this vibrant city to be devasted.
