Those particular places have been fighting for centuries to keep from being flooded by the sea. Global warming causes ice to melt, which causes sea levels to rise, which makes flooding more likely, and harder to prevent.

How does global warming affect Italy?
Venice has areas that are to be flooded if the sea level rises, but it's not possible to say accurately what will happen to Italy in the future. Global warming is happening all over the world. Some places will be drier than before. Other places will be wetter than before. Warming causes weather, so more warming is certainly going to affect the weather. Low lying countries and coastlines and cities will be in danger from rising sea levels. Warming oceans expand, and this is causing the rise firstly. Melting glaciers and ice caps are a secondary reason. Places too cold for agriculture may be able to be farmed, but much of the present croplands may have to adapt or be abandoned if global warming continues.
