Venice

Wallpaper Description:

General sight of the town of Venice, Venezia, Italy (45°35' NR - 12°34' E). Venice is an archipelago of 118 islands, separated by 160 channels which span more than 400 bridges. Its main artery, the Large Channel, is bordered by a hundred palate Rebirth and time baroque set up by the Venetian commercial rich person. They testify to the importance taken by these tradesmen when Venice opened on the outside world. As of the year millet, the city imposed its supremacy on the Adriatic Sea, then on all Mediterranean. It established there many counters until continental flows supplant maritime flows at the end of the XVII E century. Venice is then eclipsed international commercial scene. Today, the eclipse is likely to be total: the “Sérénissime” could disappear under water, victim of the floods which multiply because of the widening of the channels, of the depression of the Venetian ground and the rise in the sea level (6 mm per annum). An ambitious project and expensive (the project Braces) was selected in 2002 to seal the master keys which connect the sea to the lagoon. Nearly 80 mobile dams should be installed and operational before 2011
