A sharp decline in population has prompted the residents of Venice to stage a funeral symbolising the death of the city.

At least 175,000 people filled its streets in 1951, but the number of people currently living in Venice stands at 60,000, a threshold that residents say signals the end of the city's viability.

Sabina Castelfranco reports.

  • @marcdaddy33 The second half of your post. That's why you're deliberately retarded.

  • @buttaluv10 oh sweet Jesus.. i would have thought that somebody with the intellect to profess evolution would at least have enough of it left not to construct an argument as stupid as the second half of your post.

  • The Italian government should do something - chuck out the millionaires and give the real Venetians some help to make it living city again, not just a tourist place.

  • get some immigrants, fools!

  • La Serenissima

    The Filthy Disgusting Usurious Banking Oligarchy of Venice.

  • Final, absolute evidence that marcdaddy33's brain is sinking faster than Venice.

    You poor tiny brained thing.

  • im not white im black and i agree black people were some of the first people in a certain perspective they werent the first

  • dark chocolate brown people?! Everyone loves chocolate...soo why are you making it seem like an insult? Hmmm.Maybe with the earth going through its changes your pale skin won't allow you to be able to survive living on Earth.Maybe this is God's way of taking you all out of your misery so you all don't over crowd the caves again. :-(

  • So guess who so-called evolved from Black people?...that's riiiiight. ;-)

  • Contrary to what you'd like to believe.History has shown that the first humans were....BLACK people.White people are nothing more than albinos that evolved into their own ethnic type(IF you even should be considered an ethnicity,lol) because all the "brown" and normal people/humans shunned and outcasted you.
