Venetian art historians and scientists are going to create a "

The idea for the project came about after a devastating flood that hit the city in November 2019. A digital avatar will keep Venice's face despite climate change.

It will take a year to fully digitize Venice to show the city in different seasons. "

The resulting 3D model can be used, for example, for virtual tours. Due to its high definition, it can also be useful for future architects for a detailed study of the structural features of buildings and decorative elements..

" This year, the Venetian authorities tested a new flood protection system. It consists of 78 barriers, which were made especially for the Venetian canals - so that when they are lowered they are completely invisible and do not spoil the architectural ensemble..

According to a recent study, due to climate change by 2100, 1.5 times more people will suffer from rising sea levels than now.. In particular, in Venice, the water level may rise by 30-60 centimeters by 2100. Most of the destruction will be brought not by the rising water level as such, but by the stronger tides and storms that accompany the process of climate change..
