Italy:Venice, Florence, Pisa experiencing record floods

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/flooding-in-venice-venice-hit-by-record-third-exceptional-tide-in-one-week-2019-11-17/

"...it marked the third time since Tuesday night's 1.87-meter flood — the worst in 53 years — that water levels in Venice had topped 1.5 meters. Since records began in 1872, that level had never been reached even twice in one year, let alone three times in one week."

be the same or exist as they have for 1000's of years...

The floods will keep coming more frequently and worse....and the old buildings and bridges and infrastructure and structural integrity (not to mention the health and inconvenience factors) will change how and whether people live where they have for so long.

Yeah - good thing that Climate Change isn't real....
