Yeah 👍
I unsuccessfully searched for a museum about this in Venice when I last visited. Now I finally understand!
Venetian civilization and architecture is magnificent. You can see many other cities they have built in modern day Venetia, Croatia, Slovenia, Greece… Venetian Republic had two flags; one for the land, one for the sea.

Wow. One would think the wooden piles deteriorate over time?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say these wooden piles have been compressed over the centuries petrifying them and making them stronger, also the muddy foundation created an anaerobic condition where the wood can stay in very good condition in a low oxygen environment.

And how are they not rotted now???
Venice is still standing in its strange fish-like shape just because the huge undead leviathan on which the city lies is still sleeping, entrapped by foundation poles used like spears by the ancient builders. But legends say it will break free during the first carnival night of 2048, starting the Apocalypse. Our lives will be in the hands of a few people masked by traditional characters from Commedia-dell'-arte and will be extremely hard for anyone to escape from the sinking city and even more to destroy the leviathan. This is what we learn from a funny and crazy boardgame called Carnival Zombie 2 😂
Now show footage of real Venice instead of Computer Generated Imagery
👍
But Why??

I think at the time Western Roman Empire collapsed and Venetians tried to find refuge on these islands after Germanic invasions of Roman country.
And china wants to claim that

It’s actually a dead city. No Venician living there. The city has stopped functioning as a habitat for its native population. Instead it’s just tourists and hotels and restaurants and bars.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. There are still over 50,000 people who reside on the main city islands of Venice, and over 250,000 in the greater commune.

Anybody who knows how to travel in Italy knows that you never need to pay to go to the loo. You buy your coffee* and then you use the toilets in the cafe. * And NEVER pay for tea in Italy. 12 pounds? They clearly saw you coming. I never paid more than 2 Euro for a coffee. Tea? They know not how to make it, and you will ALWAYS be disappointed, or left in hysterics. Just learn to drink coffee.

Venicians don’t really like tourists. I honestly can’t say i blame them. Tourists clog up everything, drive rents costs up, and their ships are eroding the buildings. If i was them, I’d have the prices up too.
