Can we say that we have done something in the last two centuries to significantly modify the risk of Venice's disappearance that the Ode on Venice written by Lord Byron in the now distant 1819 already foretold with visionary lucidity?

"Oh Venice! Venice! when thy marble walls
⁠Are level with the waters, there shall be
A cry of nations o'er thy sunken halls,
⁠A loud lament along the sweeping sea!
If I, a northern wanderer, weep for thee,
What should thy sons do? anything but weep:
And yet they only murmur in their sleep.

Born in Milano in 1953, where he lives and works. He has photographs printed in many magazines, in Italy and abroad. He publishes photo-books.
