    I thought I read that the canals cleaned up quite a bit after COVID, due to no tourists being around. Are they back to being disgusting?

      Yeah during the first lockdown they were pretty clear. The thing is that they’re incredibly shallow and muddy, and Venetians use boats as their main mode of transport (after walking) so it never settles usually
