If you want to put a really interesting fact into your project, talk about the proposal (well under way now) to put up barriers to high tides to keep Venice streets from flooding.
Here are some good links:

It depends which tipe of project you are working on. There are a lot of facts in Venice History, the politics, the wars, the glory and the fall.
The about the city itself, on the water, no cars, everythings is moved by boats (also the police, the fireman, ...).
Start choosing if you are most interested in History facts or present facts.

Just do a search on "Venice, Italy", or, better still, go to the library and do your research, there.
