The phosphorescent green liquid patch has appeared near the Rialto Bridge on Venice’s Grand Canal.
Police in Venice have launched an investigation into the source of a phosphorescent green liquid patch that has appeared in the city’s famed Grand Canal.
Luca Zaia, governor of the Veneto region, posted a picture of the bright green liquid near the arched Rialto Bridge on Sunday.
The patch was reported by residents.
Images taken at the scene show a bright patch of green in the canal along an embankment lined with restaurants.
Mr Zaia said that officials had requested that the Venice police investigate to determine who was responsible.
Environmental authorities have also been testing the water.
The incident appears to echo recent episodes in Italy in which environmental groups have been targeting monuments with colours and dyes.
