Comments on the clue
1.What is 'skipping' adding to this? Clue works better without it
2.Not sure about "central Italy" for "tal", and Venice isn't in central Italy, of course, so "maybe" doesn't quite work
3.Goes = wends is pushing it a bit. Not sure what 'skipping' achieves.
4.Neatly done
5.Would Venice qualify as wetlands ?
