Venice
The Venice page is ready for local data, but remains cautious because the historic centre, mainland and tourism measure different markets.
Venice is the capital of Veneto and one of the Italian places where the word city can mean very different things: the historic centre, the islands, Mestre and the metropolitan area. A single average can therefore be less useful than a declared gap. The page is published to connect the territory and collect sources, but indicators will arrive only when we can state precisely which part of Venice they measure.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Venice require more caution than other cities?
Because the historic centre, islands and mainland have different markets. An average price without a geographic boundary would not be very informative.
Which indicators should come first?
Local transport, accommodation and housing are the priorities, but each must clearly state whether it concerns insular Venice, Mestre or the whole municipality.
