Wide of flooded arched walkway STORYLINE: Parts of Venice, including the famous San Marco Square, were flooded on Wednesday. A high tide forced tourists to wade through the city in knee-high waters. According to the Italian news agency ANSA, water levels were 40 inches (103 centimetres) above normal early on Monday, and were thought to have reached about 55 inches (140 centimetres) on Wednesday. San Marco Square, more usually thronged with tourists, was largely deserted. Makeshift footbridges were created to allow people to walk above floodwaters. The water levels on Wednesday evening had nearly topped the rubbish bins throughout San Marco Square.
