Also we have said of manutenere adequately and taking advantage of to the maximum the current existing channels, without to dig new channels, in order to allow with the Marine one to continue to work well and to develop themselves. It is possible to develop the port, to make to arrive the cruises - it has concluded the minister - without for this putting to risk the patrimony of Venice".
