It's an amazing side bar to the sadness in Italy right now. Will this incredible improvement in environment from a pandemic time-out, inspire Venice to re-set itself in some ways, and is that even possible? It's happening in several places around the globe as man made pollution abates, temporarily.Venice canals must have been cleaned up significantly since we were there 53 years ago; back then there was nothing swimming there except garbage!
Remnds me of a visit to Ft Myers, Fl to see mom. The evening news did a story that I don't recall the subject of. News event story completed, one guys said, "That's the greatest thing since sliced bread". The other asked what was the greatest thing BEFORE sliced bread? The first one says, "Florida, before the snowbird tourists came".

They drain it completely, annually I think to clean it. The newest things they are finding now are those scooters/razors for rent.I saw pictures of the San Antonio Riverwalk on Twitter today. It has cleared up completely. Not going to stay that way. The city makes way too much money from people riding the riverboats.
