where does the water in venice come from
Venice Venice (/ˈvɛnɪs/, VEN-iss; Italian: Venezia [veˈnɛttsja] ( listen); Venetian: Venesia, Venexia [veˈnɛsja]) is a city in northeastern Italy and the capital of the Veneto region. It is situated across a group of 118 small islands[1] that are separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges.[2][3] The islands are located in the shallow Venetian Lagoon, an enclosed bay that lies between the mouths of the Po and the Piave rivers (more exactly between the Brenta and the Sile). Parts of Venice are renowned for the beauty of their settings, their architecture, and artwork.[2] The lagoon and a part of the city are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[2]
Marco Polo (game) The game shares its name with the 13th-century Italian trader and explorer Marco Polo.[4] Some etymological sources[who?] say it was named after him. The game, or at least the wording of the game likely originated from the 1938 movie The Adventures of Marco Polo.[citation needed] In act 1, scene 2, a gondolier is seen paddling through a Venice canal, repeatedly calling out for Marco Polo. (He is eventually found gambling in the apartment of a beautiful woman.). As a Venetian, Marco Polo's association with water would seem logical.
