In the early '70s, the municipality of Venice founded the first service to observe tide and to advertice citizens, by a siren on San Marco bell tower, in case of coming high tide level. After 1979's flooding a new service has been instituted, the Centro Previsioni e Segnalazioni Maree. Its goal is to guarantee maximum information on tide and an efficient and immediate alerting service in case of high tide. To accomplish these tasks the Centre improved its systems reaching a very good quality in monitoring, forecasting and information services. On October 13th, 2003 the Centre has been transformed in "Istituzione Centro Previsioni e Segnalazioni Maree", as a reward of the high scientific and technological level reached through the collaboration with CNR, APAT, Aeronautics Meteorological Service, Hydrographic and Mareographical National Service.
