Water turns green in Venice

Citizens and tourists in Venice were treated to an unusual sight on Sunday morning as the water in the Italian city's famous canals turned fluorescent green.

The local authorities took samples of the water with the strange color and immediately carried out the analyses. Theories for this phenomenon have immediately been numerous, from the release of paint to a protest by environmental activists.

Italian media have reported that police are checking security cameras to see if someone may have thrown the paint.

Many social media users said the images released by Venice were reminiscent of 1968, when Argentine artist Nicolás García Uriburu painted the waters of the Grand Canal green to raise awareness of environmental issues.
