UNESCO has removed Venice, Italy from its list of World Heritage Sites in Danger, signaling that the city is no longer at risk of losing its historic value and beauty. The decision follows several conservation efforts that the Italian government has implemented in the past two decades. These include stricter laws to protect the city’s monuments and infrastructure, the introduction of a new system of tidal gates, and the hosting of numerous conservation conferences. The removal of Venice from UNESCO’s list is a sign that these efforts have been successful in safeguarding one of the world’s most iconic cities.
