About this title

Synopsis

Venice’s Crazy Engineering: How the Floating City Defies Time, Tides, and Technology
The Hidden Secrets of Venice’s Foundations, Flood Defenses, and the Fight to Save a Sinking Masterpiece

The Floating City Was Never Meant to Survive—Yet It Has. But for How Long?

Venice, a breathtaking masterpiece of canals, bridges, and grand palaces, appears to defy the laws of nature. How can an entire city, built on wooden piles driven into the muddy lagoon floor, still stand after centuries of floods, shifting tides, and the relentless march of time? The truth is even more astonishing than the myths.

This book takes you beneath the surface—literally—unveiling the hidden engineering marvels that have kept Venice afloat for over a thousand years. From the city’s ingenious wooden foundations that have petrified into stone to the cutting-edge MOSE flood barriers fighting to keep the sea at bay, every page reveals secrets that will leave you in awe.

But Venice is in crisis. Rising sea levels, mass tourism, and climate change threaten to erase this architectural wonder forever. Will modern science and innovation be enough to save it, or are we witnessing the slow drowning of one of humanity’s greatest achievements?
