English: Year by year Venice is slowly falling into decay as it sinks into the mud of its lagoon. Many of the buildings are falling into ruins, simply because they are uninhabited. Venice's heritage is threatened by storms which are causing more and more flooding in the city. Swift currents eat at the city's foundation. Humidity and air pollution are causing paintings and the city's marble to deteriorate. UNESCO, on 2 December 1966, launched a campaign for the saving of Venice and has commenced a large-scale study of the Venetian problem as a whole. Here, one of the angels surmounting the pediment of Santa Maria della Salute, the celebrated 17th century church. These angels and other crumbling sculptures of the church have now been consolidated and restored. Français : Venise se dégrade d'année en année et s'enfonce progressivement dans la lagune. Ses édifices prennent lentement des allures de ruines parce que personne n'y habite. Les inondations successives et les courants trop rapides érodent la base des bâtiments. L'humidité et la pollution de l'air altèrent les marbres et les peintures. L'UNESCO a lancé, le 2 décembre 1966, un appel pour la sauvegarde de Venise et vient d'établir une importante étude sur l'ensemble des problèmes. Ici, un des anges du fronton de Santa Maria della Salute, église du 17ème siècle. Gravement endommagés, ces anges ont été restaurés. |
