Venice
* Venice is a city in northeastern Italy and the capital of
the Veneto region. It is on a group of 118 small islands
that are separated by canals and linked by over 400
bridges.The islands are in the shallow Venetian Lagoon,
an enclosed bay lying between the mouths of the Po and
the Piave rivers (more exactly between the Brenta and
the Sile). In 2018, 260,897 people resided in the Comune
di Venezia, of whom around 55,000 live in the historical
city of Venice (centro storico). Together with Padua and
Treviso, the city is included in the Padua-Treviso-Venice
Metropolitan Area (PATREVE), which is considered a
statistical metropolitan area, with a total population of
2.6 million.The language spoken in Venice is Italian
Lnaguage, and the currency used here is The euro.
* Venice sits atop alluvial silt washed into the sea by the rivers flowing eastward
from the alps across the Veneto plain, with the silt being stretched into long
banks, or lidi, by the action of the current flowing around the head of the
Adriatic Sea from east to west. Between autumn and early spring, the city is
often threatened by flood tides pushing in from the Adriatic. Six hundred years
ago, Venetians protected themselves from land-based attacks by diverting all
the major rivers flowing into the lagoon and thus preventing sediment from
filling the area around the city. This created an ever-deeper lagoon
environment. According to the Köppen climate classification, Venice has a mid-
latitude, four season humid subtropical climate (Cfa), with cool winters and
hot, humid summers. The 24-hour average temperature in January is 3.3 °C
(37.9 °F), and for July this figure is 23.0 °C (73.4 °F). Precipitation is spread
relatively evenly throughout the year, and averages 748 millimetres (29.4 in);
snow isn't a rarity between late November and early March. During the most
severe winters, the canals and parts of the lagoon can freeze, but with the
warming trend of the past 30–40 years, the occurrence has become rarer.

*Geography
* The city is facing financial challenges. In late 2016, it had a major deficit in its
budget and debts in excess of €400 million. "In effect, the place is bankrupt",
according to a report by The Guardian. Many locals are leaving the historic
center due to rapidly increasing rents. The declining native population affects
the character of the city, as an October 2016 National Geographic article pointed
out in its subtitle: "Residents are abandoning the city, which is in danger of
becoming an overpriced theme park". The city is also facing other challenges,
including erosion, pollution, subsidence, an excessive number of tourists in peak
periods, and problems caused by oversized cruise ships sailing close to the banks
of the historical city. In June 2017, Italy was required to bail out two Venetian
banks—the Banca Popolare di Vicenza and Veneto Banca—to prevent their
bankruptcies. Both banks would be wound down and their assets that have value
taken over by another Italian bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, which would receive €5.2
billion as compensation. The Italian government would be responsible for losses
from any uncollectible loans from the closed banks. The cost would be €5.2
billion, with further guarantees to cover bad loans totaling €12 billion.

*Economy
* Venice is an important destination for tourists who want
to see its celebrated art and architecture. The city hosts
up to 60,000 tourists per day (2017 estimate). Estimates
of the annual number of tourists vary from 22 million to
30 million. This "overtourism" creates overcrowding and
environmental problems for Venice's ecosystem. By 2017,
UNESCO was considering the addition of Venice to its "In-
Danger" list, which includes historical ruins in war-torn
countries. To reduce the number of visitors, who are
causing irreversible changes in Venice, the agency
supports limiting the number of cruise ships as well as
implementing a strategy for more sustainable tourism.
