In November, Venice experienced its highest water levels in more than 50 years in what some said was a direct result of climate change.
More than two thirds of the city was underwater then, with the mayor estimating damage at over a billion euros ($1.1bn; £850m).
Landmarks like St Mark’s Square were flooded, while shops and businesses had to close.
