aqua alta

3 scatti in verticale uniti con ICE

Aqua alta (pronounced [ˈakwa ˈalta] is the term used here in Veneto for the exceptional tide peaks that occur periodically in the northern Adriatic Sea. The peaks reach their maximum in the Venetian Lagoon, where they cause partial flooding of Venice; flooding also occurs elsewhere around the northern Adriatic, but much less often and to a lesser degree. The phenomenon occurs mainly between autumn and spring, when the astronomical tides are reinforced by the prevailing seasonal winds which hamper the usual reflux.
