LE BARRAGE DE VENISE
E7
LE BARRAGE DE VENISEDepuis sa fondation au VIème siècle, Venise a subi une montée des eaux de la mer Adriatique de près de 2 mètres. Régulièrement, la ville est innondée, et chaque année les eaux rongent un peu plus les fondations, les murs et les fresques, et empêchent les gondoles de passer sous les ponts. Pour sauver Venise, un ouvrage dantesque est en cours de réalisation, la construction de 78 digues géantes et mobiles aux 3 entrées de la Lagune qui doivent protéger la ville des inondations et des grandes marées pendant plus d´un siècle.
