Acqua alta Info

Acqua alta

This is the exceptionally high tide which the Venetian lagoon is sometimes subject to during the winter months. It is caused by particular wind conditions but exacerbated by man's impact on the environment. When the water level in the lagoon rises by about a metre or more, up to an extreme of more than 1.40 m, ever-increasing areas of Venice's streets and squares are covered by several centimetres of water. The high water is usually heralded by the sounding of sirens three or four hours before the tide reaches its highest point, and duckboards are put out in the busiest areas to enable pedestrians to get through.

Camorra Info

Camorra

Widespread in Naples and Campania, this is not a single criminal organization, but a collection of groups (families) which often fight each other for control of criminal activities. It goes back to the 16th century and has practised extortion for centuries, blackmailing small businesses in Naples. After World War II, and above all in the 1980s, it began to control drug dealing and arms trafficking, prostitution and the allocation of public contracts, developing links with politicians and gaining ever-increasing control over the Naples area.
