<p>The high-water mark hit 74in late on Tuesday, meaning more than 85% of the city was flooded.</p>
<p>The highest level recorded was 78in in 1966.</p>

<p>Venice’s mayor blamed climate change for the “dramatic situation” and called for a speedy completion of a long-delayed project to construct offshore barriers.</p>
<p>Called Moses, the moveable under-sea barriers are meant to limit flooding of the lagoon city, caused by southerly winds that push the tide into Venice.</p>
<p>Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said the flood levels represent “a wound that will leave indelible signs”.</p>
<p>Photos on social media show city ferry and taxi boats grounded on walkways flanking canals.</p>
