Venice Is Flooding, Despite A $6.5 Billon Investment
- 6 years ago
According to Business Insider, Venice was hit by a series of devastating storms this week, causing three-quarters of the city to be submerged in water.
Officials suspect that the city could have been protected by a massive flood barrier, which is not yet complete.
The $6.5 billion infrastructure project has been pummeled by criticism and political scandal, including the arrest of a former mayor in 2014.
