Instagram report: the largest flood in Venice for half a century

Already almost half of the city has been flooded.

On November 12, Venice registered the strongest flood since 1966. The water level rose to 187 centimeters, about 45% of the city is flooded, and local authorities are preparing to declare a crisis and request Rome to introduce an emergency.

Due to the high level of water, almost all tourist attractions, as well as some hotels, restaurants and private residential buildings, were flooded. One person died - he tried to start an electric pump in his house and received a strong blow.

City schools are closed due to weather conditions, and the townspeople and organizations asked to collect evidence of any damage caused by their property so that they could later request compensation.

According to the mayor of Venice, Luigi Brunyaro, a global climate change is to blame for an unusually high flood. Venice is experiencing the so-called “high water” period on average every three to four years, but water usually does not rise above 110 centimeters, while filling about 10% of the city.
