IS VENICE sinking?
The city of Venice in Italy is unusual because it has canals instead of roads.
But this beautiful city has begun to sink.
For a while it seemed as though the subsidence had come to a stop, but recent research shows that the lagoon city is sinking at a rate of 1mm to 2mm a year.
This does not sound like a lot, but over time it can add up dangerously.
