Abstract
Description
A photo taken on the bridge from the transit center looking toward the island of 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. Overtourism and global climate changes leading to flooding continue to threaten Venice's ecosystem. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is renowned for its beauty, architecture, and artwork.
