New alarm for a possible rise of water beyond the guard level in Venice. In the morning, with the expected peak at 11.20, an exceptional tide of 160 centimeters is expected, 10 more than the previous forecast. Enough to trigger the "red code". In the Serenissima, the alarm sirens were heard already at 6.39, when the sun had not yet risen. The Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, meanwhile, in an interview with "Corriere della Sera"., Announced that the mayor of Venice, "will be appointed commissioner in relation to the state of emergency that yesterday we resolved in the CDM". "To decide how many funds to allocate to Venice after the state of emergency of these hours - the premier specified - we await the timely recognition of the needs and the interventions that the mayor has guaranteed us to make in the coming days ".
Last night's Cdm concluded with the taking of some decisions relating to the bad weather emergency in the Venetian capital and beyond. The Government, in fact, has approved a state of emergency for Venice, also allocating 20 million, the first funds for the most urgent interventions in support of the city and the Venetian population.

In the meantime, the controversy over the Moses is not calmed, a subject on which the Northern League leader intervenes Matteo Salvini. "Pats on the back are not enough - said the leader of the Northern League - As Lega we have already presented two concrete amendments for the operation and maintenance of the Mose and therefore the mobile barriers that avoid these problems and an extraordinary, quick and immediate contribution for all Italian areas, not just Venice ". Two days ago, in this context, Prime Minister Conte announced the date of the meeting of the Comitatone - a body which includes the competent ministers, the mayor, the president of the Region and other representatives of the authorities involved - to solve the problems of the city: “At the moment we have identified the date of November 26th. The meeting of this body will serve to discuss the governance of all infrastructure problems, from large ships to Mose, but also the problem of greater coordination between the competent authorities ”.
