Luigi Brugnaro

Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro wrote on social media that the scene of the crash was “apocalyptic.”
The "acqua alta," or high waters, have flooded the city three times in less than a week.
Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said he would declare a state of disaster after the city was hit by the devastating high tide, which peaked at over 6 feet on Tuesday.
He's also blasted Elton John and banned books featuring same-sex couples from city schools.
