(ANSA) - VENICE, 08 DEC - Venice once again struggling with high water, which today has recovered the city due to the fact that the Mose - which had defended it in recent days - has not come into operation.
Piazza San Marco and the historic center were thus flooded, with the usual inconvenience for shopkeepers.
The tide center, which had updated the estimates of the phenomenon in the morning in a worse sense, predicts that the maximum can reach 135 cm. But it is not excluded that the measure may be higher, especially in Chioggia. "Why has the Moses not been activated today? We are in an experimental phase, in which it gets up when there is a forecast of 130 centimeters: the alert is given 48 hours earlier, to allow not only to issue the navigation orders but also to summon the operational teams "explained Cinzia Zincone, head of the Northeast Public Works Supervisory Board.
