What is Venipedia?

Venipedia is a wiki-based website dedicated to providing unique information and data about the city of Venice, Italy. Although there are already several sources on the internet about Venice, including both the English and Italian Wikipedia websites as well as various Italian organizations, there are some issues associated with such sources.
