More of a comment than a question. I lived in Italy (Latina) for about a year (1979 and 1980). During that time I visited Venice roughly three times through out the seasons. During each visit, I was able to walk on St Mark's Square without getting my feet wet.
Rovigo (Veneto)
Rovigo is a town in the Veneto region of Northeast Italy, the capital of the eponymous province.
Rovigo stands on the low ground known as Polesine, 80 kilometres (50 mi) by rail southwest of Venice and 40 kilometres (25 mi) south-southwest of Padua, and on the Adigetto Canal.
The architecture of the town bears the stamp both of Venetian and of Ferrarese influence. Main sights include: the castle with its two towers Donà and Mozza (one of the city’s symbols), dating back to the 10th century. The architecture from the Venetian period includes the celebrated works of Biagio Rossetti - Palazzo Roverella and the cloister of San Bartolomeo - and Sanmicheli, Palazzo Roncale, through which the city has augmented its artistic value.
