The problem is that it looks like there will be very few growth tiles. There are 6 or 7 pretty nice tiles and the rest are crap. The two salt tiles will have 3 food with mines, and the deer will have 3 food with a granary (or 4 with Goddess of the Hunt, but that seems unlikely). Beyond that, it'll be Civil Service before there are any 3 food tiles, and you'll never get any 4 food tiles. Also there's no coast. Venice's shtick is getting one huge city with a bunch of trade routes, preferably ocean trade routes, to make lots of money. But here there is very little in the way of gold from the terrain. Marble and 2 salts... that's it. And very little food and production.
