Post-flood restoration efforts in Venice, Italy, highlight the city’s resilience and commitment to preserving its cultural heritage.

Following the catastrophic floods of November 2019, which submerged over 80% of the city and caused significant damage, projects like the In Venitia Hortus Redemptoris have focused on repair and renewal. One such project, the restored Garden of the Redeemer, opened to the public in October 2024 as the Orto Giardino del Redentore, offering access to a unique greenhouse, workshops, and views of the Venetian lagoon.
