The Palace That Breathes Water

El palacio que respira agua

A flooded hotel lobby in Venice. A gondolier who rows straight through the front door. And a submerged palace that can only be reached for a few hours, before the tide erases the canal forever.

Llegaron a Venecia en el peor momento posible. O eso pensaron. La lluvia llevaba tres días sin parar, y las noticias locales repetían la misma palabra: «acqua alta».
