Interesting article looking at the proposed new route to the port of Venice and the option of a floating port at Lido.

Yes, appreciate the posting of this article. It is not really a "news" article, but more of a column from an advocate by a person pushing certain viewpoints. That's fine. Everyone has a right to their opinions. It will be interesting to see if and when Venice and Italy figures out what they are doing. Now, they must look at digging out a bigger, wider channel and how much that will impact the environment. Which area of the "environment" is more important and most deserving "protection"? Lots of debate and questions!!

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

 

If Venice is one of your future desires or past favorites, you might look at this earlier posting that I did on the Italy board that shows many options and visual potentials for this city that is so great for "walking around", personally sampling the great history and architecture. This posting is now at 43,029 views and I appreciate those who have dropped by and tuned in.
