Flooding of the Piazza is presently tolerated, although limitedly to a minor extent, and can/will be avoided only thanks to additional adaptation works. One of the possible flooding mechanisms is the wave overtopping, and this note investigates the efficiency, as possible mitigation option, of a small temporary barrier placed along the S. Marco quay.<br><br><b>Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): <a href="https://youtu.be/wiSF2B81wIM">https://youtu.be/wiSF2B81wIM</a></b></html> ER -
