Environment Minister Corrado Clini called for more funding to shore up Italy's weather defences. Bad weather with torrential rain was due to continue through Tuesday, forecasters said.
It was the fourth time since 2000 that Venice had been hit by record high water, and the city's environment officer said the latest flooding was the result of global climate change.
A barrier to protect the city from repeated winter flooding, which has been planned for decades, is due to be finished by 2017.

托斯卡纳市长马萨-卡拉拉说:“这造成了严重影响。”托斯卡纳区是受灾最严重的地区之一。
他告诉《意大利晚邮报》:“我知道至少有六座丘陵地带的桥梁在洪水和滑坡的夹击下垮塌,葡萄园和橄榄林也被冲毁。如果没有人员伤亡那简直是个奇迹。”
