dc.descriptionThe photo shows a cruise ship docked in Venice, Italy. Venice (in Italian: Venezia) is a city in northeastern Italy that is built on a group of 126 islands separated by open water and canals, linked through 472 bridges. The historical island city is home to only 51K people, but a very popular tourist destination with about 60K tourists per day. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is renowned for its beauty, architecture, and artwork. This photo was taken on May 22, 2017, just eleven days before a cruise ship rammed a tourist riverboat. Since then, the Italian government passed regulations to divert large cruise ships away from the Giudecca Canal. Overtourism and global climate changes leading to flooding continue to threaten Venice's ecosystem.
