Venice Mose infrastructure barrier didn’t stop flooding from storms
Venice was hit by a series of devastating storms this week, causing three-quarters of the city to be submerged in water.
Officials suspect that the city could have been protected by a massive flood barrier, which is not yet complete.
The $6.5 billion infrastructure project has been pummeled by criticism and political scandal, including the arrest of a former mayor in 2014.
