She is still alive

        By William Wordsworth

 

 Actually, Venice, being utterly Italian, found a way to survive and live on. Surely not awash in power and might but replete with art and culture. La Serenissima shall go on unless the sea whom she married decides to embrace her and take her to it's depths. If that day ever came to pass it would surely be a sad day for civilization.

     By Rocco Galatioto
