[pic- Turner]The mayor of Venice has been on record saying that he wants day-tourists to get out of 'his' city.
In contrast, tourists want the pidgeons to get out of town, and for the penny-pinching mayor to get their guano off San Marco square.
They both got their wish recently, thanks to global warming, when the city was flooded.

This limited the tourists and cleaned up the god-awful aviary-refuse stench. Floor wax, anyone?
Note:
Did you know this city is actually an engineering freak show? Because the islands that make up Venice are little more than sand dunes, every building is ON STILTS. The fronts of buildings are facades which are separate from the rest of the box, so that both can move separately!
