Theories range from the release of dye to a protest by environmental activists, reports BBC.
Many social media users said the images coming out of Venice were remindful of the 1968 stunt by Argentine artist Nicolás García Uriburu, who dyed the waters of the Grand Canal green in order to raise awareness of ecological issues, the British media reported.
