Venice is on its knees due to
flooding in much of the city after the high-water mark reached
187cm on Tuesday, close to the level of the famous 1966 flood.
A 78-year-old man was electrocuted due a flood-caused short
circuit at his home on the island of Pellestrina.
Another person also died during the flooding on the lagoon
island, although in his case it may have been natural causes.
