To protect its fragile ecosystem and stunning architecture, Venice has taken bold steps.
In recent years, it has banned cruise ships from its lagoon and built sea walls to keep out high tides.

The United Nations’ culture agency, UNESCO, proposed in a document released on Monday to include Venice and its lagoon on its World Heritage in Danger list.
“Venice has been a more fragile city than the others,” he said.
