UNESCO has recommended that Venice be added to the list of World Heritage Sites in Danger.

According to a UNESCO report, the iconic Italian city is at risk of irreversible damage from over-tourism, over-development and rising sea levels due to climate change. The agency aims to encourage better preservation of the heritage site for the future.

"Reuters" reports that a spokesman for Venice said that they will read the proposal carefully. They added that the report will then be discussed with the Italian government.

The UNESCO report says that the Italian authorities have lacked the strategic vision to solve the problems facing one of Italy's most picturesque cities. This is a blow to the authorities, who are accused of failing to protect the historic city and the surrounding lagoon.

But one of Venice's former mayors, Massimo Cacciari, has accused the international heritage agency, saying UNESCO passes "judgement without knowledge" and "gives opinions left and right which we would do best to ignore." ".

"They don't give us any funds to make changes, all they do is criticize... We need more action and less words."

The inclusion of Venice in the danger list was proposed by UNESCO about two years ago, but was avoided at the last moment due to some emergency measures adopted by the Italian government. One of those measures was the decision to ban large ships, such as cruise ships in the San Marco Canal, as well as the promise to launch an ambitious conservation plan for the city.

The UNESCO report, among other things, says that emergency authorities in the city lack a strategy to address the threat of climate change. Among other things, UNESCO believes that tall buildings can have a significant negative visual impact on the city and they should be built away from the city center.

UNESCO lists 55 World Heritage sites globally as at risk, with another 204 being actively monitored by the agency due to the threats they face.

Venice is known as "La Serenissima", which translates to "very calm", but it seems that this nickname no longer suits it.
