The mystery surrounding the green-stained section of Venice’s Grand Canal has been solved: Local authorities said Monday that the discoloration was due to fluorescein, a non-toxic substance used in tests in sewer networks. The environmental protection regional authority in Veneto said fluorescence was detected during the analysis of the samples. No toxic elements were detected in the samples. It was not disclosed where the fluorescein came from.
Residents of the Rialto Bridge, popular with tourists, noted a “bright green curtain of liquid” over the water on Sunday. According to local newspaper “La Nuova Venezia”, police investigated whether climate activists were behind the discoloration.
The Grand Canal had already turned green some fifty years ago. During the Biennial art exhibition in 1968, Argentine artist Garcia Uriburu poured bright green paint into water to raise awareness of environmental protection.
