Cultural Note
Venice, 'La Serenissima' (The Most Serene), is built on 118 small islands connected by over 400 bridges. It has no roads -- only canals and walkways. Venice faces the existential threat of rising sea levels ('acqua alta'), and the city has installed the MOSE barrier system to protect it from flooding.
