Mainly in the ancient part of the town the buildings of Venice haven't the traditional basements as instead happens by elsewhere.
It had been used a different technic of construction and instead of on the ground under the walls the basements are just aside the buildings, on the streets along the channels. It's due to this fact that these streets of the centre of Venice are called and named "Fondamenta " that's the Italian word to translate the basements.

Venice (Venezia) actually wants no introduction, see getting there with hotelbye . This town is a huge fabled destination for centuries. Only the name Venice is enough to conjure up a bunch of images, even for individuals who have not even set base in Italy. From gondoliers in striped tops to the Rialto and the Bridge of Sighs, bad balls, fantastic barges, courtesans in gondolas and failing palaces facing streets manufactured from water Venice is a fantastic city. When the sole connection throughout the Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge scars the location of the island's first settlement, named Rivus Altus and has become one of the a lot of place that Venice must offer.

Most of them probably do not as basements are not typically a European construct. If the Venetians do have basements, they are under water now, in fact, most of their 1rst floors are now under water or at least partially inundated with water. The water levels are rising steadily every year, and if you visit San Marco's Piazza, you will notice that the water flooding is growing increasingly to be a problem...
So I would have to say basements are a possibility, but they are not useable because they are under water.

Lagoon water is shallow, so they pushed into the mud tall oaken timbers, very close to each other, then covered them with mud, so that the timbers had no contact with air nor water - in time they'll turn stone like. The top (approx. tide line) was sealed with stone layers, and on that the house was built. You won't find a single straight wall in Venice.

Yes. But they're very damp. :-)
