Protestors in Venice have
rebelled against Italian Prime
Minister Matteo Renzi, presenting
a petition urging excavation of the
city’s lagoon to allow access to
larger cruise ships to be stopped
and for ships to dock elsewhere.
According to La Repubblica,
environmentalists and scientists
are in agreement that planned
dredging of the lagoon will open
up the city to the sea, leaving it
exposed to irreparable damage.
