I am having difficulty finding information about closing of the MOSE barriers and the protocol or signals. The dedicated MOSE website seems to be more political than practical. The day I entered the lagoon&nbsp; at Chioggia, I found a notice on the Venice city website that there had been a test closing the day before.
