<p>The lagoon-based city has experienced a population decline even if its canals and historic buildings still make it a magnet for tourists.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>One of only four oar makers for Venice’s famed gondoliers, Paolo Brandolisio, whose ground-floor workshop has been inundated for the third time in a week of record-breaking floods, is just one resident despairing of any help from national or local institutions.</p>
<p>“If these phenomena continue to repeat themselves, you have to think about how to defend yourself,” he said.</p>
<p>“Because the defences that the politicians have made don’t seem to be nearly enough.”</p>

<p>“You have to think of yourself,” he repeated.</p>
<p>Venetians are fed up with what they see as inadequate responses to the city’s mounting problems: record-breaking flooding, environmental and safety threats from cruise ship traffic and the burden on services from over-tourism.</p>
