It's no secret that Venice has always had major problems with flooding. Italy Veneziano never seemed to mind, but he hid his true feelings well. He was worried and afraid that he would soon be his time, but he never voiced his concerns until a particularly bad Aqua Alta manages to finally kill him once and for all. The countries of the world mourned his loss and he was gone for 21 long years until he was suddenly discovered once again, living his life as a human. The only problem was that he had no memory of his life as a country.
