It occurs when a combination of factors, such as high tides, strong winds, and atmospheric pressure, causes the water level in the Venetian lagoon to rise. During *Acqua Alta*, iconic locations like St. Mark's Square may be submerged, though elevated walkways are often set up for pedestrians. The city has implemented projects like the MOSE barrier system to mitigate the impact of these floods. . #acquaalta #venice🇮🇹 #veniceitaly #venicecanals #veniceitaly🇮🇹 #italy #flood #italy🇮🇹 #italia #italygram #vacations #travel #flooding #stmarks #stmarkssquare #venicelife
