Venice is sinking due to subsidence.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Venice is sinking due to subsidence?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed and reference sources report that Venice has lost elevation through land subsidence, both natural and from past groundwater pumping, contributing to relative sea-level rise. Several give measured sinking of roughly 20-25 cm over the last century.
