THE CHALLENGE OF VENICE

Movie Screening - United States Premiere

Venice is inextricably linked to her salty, fresh and brackish waters, an inexhaustible resource that now threatens the city’s very survival. Regulating the water has always played a part in the city's history. Over the centuries, both major and minor interventions in the lagoon have been necessary to maintain its delicate balance. But Venice’s real threat today is the increasing frequency of high tides and the threat of rising sea levels caused by climate change.
