Venice, Italy: An incredible city, seen from above. Protests as Venice begins charging entry fee for day-trippers



Anybody visiting Venice as a tourist for the day – except those who live in the local Veneto region – must pay the 5 euro ($5.40) charge if they arrive between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.. Tourists staying overnight don't have to pay, as an overnight tax is already added to their accommodation bills.5 hours ago



Venice, Italy: An incredible city, seen from above (via Daily Overview)
We recently featured Daily Overview in article. See it athttp://archdai.ly/1LKseaY
We have an incredible set of Overviews that I’ll be adding to our Printshop tomorrow and wanted to give you all a sneak peek of what’s to come! One of these Overviews - Venice, Italy - shows how the city is situated upon 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by bridges. With tide waters expected to rise to perilous levels in the coming decades, the city has constructed 78 giant steel gates across the three inlets through which water from the Adriatic could surge into Venice’s lagoon. The panels – which weigh 300-tons and are 92ft wide and 65ft high - are fixed to massive concrete bases dug into the seabed.
