Venice is flooding--what lies ahead for its cultural and historical site?

Images of the flood St. Mark's Basilica in Venice have shocked many across the world this week. Since Tuesday, parts of the city were damaged by the most severe high waters Venice has seen in over half a century, with six-foot high tide levels engulfing 85% of its streets and building, some of which are of tremendous cultural value.
