See also: the Netherlands, a country in ruins. /s Frankly the problem with Venice is not where it's built or climate change. The problem is that Italy has become a country living by the day and entirely unable to discuss and plan and act seriously for the future (or the present, for that matter). The MOSE project that should have saved Venice from the high tides has been discussed for almost thirty years before even starting the construction, which then proceeded at snail pace with stops and go, lack of funding, corruption, and political quarrels. Nature has never been benign. There are countries that are organized and efficient and dominate it- see the Netherlands. There are others that spend time in squabbles and suffer from each flood, storm or earthquake- see Italy.
