I was going through some old folders of unused images on my computer and was struck by these reminders of what had become the norm for life in Venice before the novel coronavirus--in spite of the fact that city authorities had been warned
quite literally for decades that an economy dependent almost entirely upon tourism left its residents and the city itself in a perilous position.
The question now (as asked by
this article in yesterday's NY Times) is whether the city can develop a better balanced and more productive approach to the complicated challenge of keeping itself afloat.
