Mysterious green color in the canals of Venice (PHOTO)

Mysterious green color flows in the canals of Venice.

Venetians woke up on Sunday morning to an unusual sight, as a section of the city's central waterway appeared to have taken on a fluorescent, green color.

Local authorities collected water samples and launched an urgent investigation. Speculation is rife as to what might have caused the water around the famous Rialto Bridge to change color.

So far the theories vary: from paint accidentally spilling into the canals to a possible protest by environmental activists.

Italian media reported that local police were examining CCTV to see if the release could be linked to this weekend's regatta rowing race.

Many social media users said the images coming out of Venice were reminiscent of Argentine artist Nicolás García Uriburu's trick in 1968, who painted the waters of the Grand Canal green to raise awareness of ecological issues.
