MOSE Project Aims to Part Venice Floods
This January 2008 article and accompanying radio program discusses the progress of the construction of the MOSE ("the acronym in Italian for experimental electromechanic module") project, "the biggest public works project in Italian history," which is designed to prevent flooding in Venice. Discusses how no Venetians live on the ground floor any more because of rising sea levels, the project of 78 floodgates, and protests to construction. From National Public Radio (NPR).
