ARUN RATH, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Arun Rath. Venice, Italy is full of beautiful sites and beautiful sounds. There are street musicians and gondoliers who will sing arias as they push you along the canals.

One problem - no such thing exists yet. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
