Courtesy of the Internet. These 3 photos of the flooding were not taken by us, and this was obviously summer, but flooding exactly like this occurred just a few days after we left Venice during the end of October and also in November, 2007. It can occur at any time and in any season when there is High Tide; in fact, it occurs very frequently! We were certainly lucky it didn't happen when we were there. I can't help but feel depressed when I see how such a lovely and unique city like Venice is being damaged by its slow but most likely irreversible and unstoppable descent beneath sea level.
