MILAN - Venice will face another exceptional high tide on Sunday, after its worst flooding in 50 years on Tuesday caused more than $1 billion worth of damage and submerged St Mark’s Square under a meter of water.

“It will be a tough day tomorrow, but we are ready,” Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said on Saturday during a press conference. The mayor confirmed a damage estimate of around 1 billion euros . The government declared a state of emergency for Venice on Thursday, allocating 20 million euros to address the immediate damage.
