Matteo Rado would usually spend his day looking after his restaurant buzzing with tourists enjoying the view of the main waterfront a stone's throw from Saint Mark's Basilica. Like many other lifelong Venetians, Rado is defiant, saying he will stay in his beloved city even if the water continues to rise. “Obviously we are still counting the extent of the damage and we are still try to fix parts of the electricity,” Rado told Reuters. “We threw away around €1,000 of food because it was all in a large fridge that filled with salt water,” he said.

“It's already over from what I see here, we had a hard time of course, but it's not forever, it's for a few hours, and of course we need to consider that this could happen again so we need to be prepared — we need to go on,” he said.
