Venice in Peril

Filed in archive Destination: Europe by Melissa Petri on November 03, 2006

Venice in Peril
It was in November 3, 1966 when Venice was devasted by floodslinks brought on by a violent storm. This calamity has inspired Sir Ashley Clarke to protect the cultural heritage of Venice by establishing The Venice in Peril Fund.

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.
