The tides in Mediterranean are rather small: 12–24 inches (30–60 cm) depending on the place. But the more to the north of Italy you are, the more water can rise there (up to 1.2 meters / 4 feet in Istria and Trieste). In the southern Adriatic sea tides can be high in narrow channels and bays — especially when strong SW winds blow. The amplitudes are irregular.
In summer, Sicily has the atmospheric phenomenon like “marrubbio” or meteotsunami. In a couple of minutes sea level can rise highly and drop again causing floods and damaging to ships moored. It is almost impossible to predict such a thing.
