ah, Venice

Buon giorno, please stop visiting Venice, grazie. I don't think this was the message that the Venetian tourism board wanted to send out into the world, but their Mayor was forced to make the announcement Monday after record flooding. But leave it to Italians to make the best of a miserable situation.
