Centuries Ago, In An Effort To Flee The Barbarians, Venetians
Left Dry Dock And Drifted Out To A Flotilla Of Uninhabitable
Islands In The Lagoon. Survival Was Difficult Enough, But No
Venetian Has Ever Settled For Mere Survival. The Remote Ancestors
Of The Present Inhabitants Created The World's Most Beautiful
City. To Your Children's Children, However, Venice Might Be
Nothing More Than A Legend.
The City Is Sinking At An Alarming Rate Of About 2 1/2 Inches Per
Decade, And At The Same Time, The Damp Climate, Pollution And
Mold, Here Are Contributing To The City's Decay. Estimates Are
That, If No Action Is Taken Soon, One Third Of The City's Art
Will Deteriorate Hopelessly Within The Next Decade.
