The Campanile stands 323 feet tall and collapsed completely in 1902, only to be rebuilt brick by brick by 1912. The piazza has been the religious, political, and social center of Venice for over a thousand years. Acqua alta events have increased in frequency, with 2019 recording the highest tide in 53 years at 6.14 feet above normal.
