Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding leaves shared Venice separated

This evening, Venice ends the magnificent wedding party of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and TV presenter Lauren Sanchez.

But when their guests of celebrities enter the water taxis from their luxurious hotels, the paparazzi who are ready, some Venetians are going to protest against the big event.

Their reasons are diverse: locals who oppose excessive tourism in the delicate city, to activists protesting against climate change and capitalism.

As they plan to go on Saturday night, they plan to launch themselves into the city channels with inflatable crocodiles and block the wedding guests.

On Saturday, when he noticed at Harry Bar, he blew his kisses in the cell when a local journalist asked what he had done from the protest.

The city’s deputy mayor rejected the activists as a “narcissist” and insisted that the wedding was “quality tourism” by Venice.

Simone Venturini, the City Council on Economic Event, said he hoped that “many people would want to marry Venice” and increase the wedding sector of the city.

“We are not Iran. The city cannot say who may or who can’t get married. We don’t have a moral police around,” he said BBC on the big channel when the gondolas loaded tourists.

But the activists have already announced one victory.

Today’s party was moved away from the city center for security reasons. A new place, arsenal, is easier to protect.

“I think the main problem is that Venice becomes as a park of entertainment,” says Paolo, an Italian member of the “disappearance” group.

She especially caused that wedding guests came here to private planes and claims that the world’s elite is the worst pollutants.

“Of course, mass tourism eats the city alive, but the fact that billionaires can come and use the city because their entertainment park is a huge problem.”

The Italian media jumped on the shine and the glamor of what they call the “wedding of the year”.

Their pages and reports are full of photos of 200 celebrities in the city, including Leonardo Di Caprio and Kim Kardashian.

There is talking about the banquets from the current today in today’s distribution will be presented, prepared regional style and photos of the white lace dress of the bride and robe Gaban, obviously inspired by one, carried by Sofia Lauren in the 1950s.

It seems, however, that the conversations about this wedding, which brought the city, stopped.

Ivanka Trump was noticed in the art gallery, like Bill Gates, and recently the married couple was photographed and filmed in different places and outfits.

But most tourists or Venetians are likely to come across the Bezos Like-A, who made a focused journey from Germany to pose for photos than any of the real rich and famous.

There are a lot of water taxis, and gondolas are still free of charge and crowd of angry tourists deprived of their charming ride.

Some streets were briefly closed around the main events, but it seems that the breakdowns were minimal.

Most posters that proclaim “not a place for a free” were thwarted, and just a strange graffiti can be seen. Attempts to design slogans on buildings was quickly stopped by the police.

The Protesters’ Planned March on Saturday night is officially resolved.

But the fears of Venice become a tourist platform, forcing the locals out of the city, not exaggeration.

Not far from the main railway station, the police held visitors accidentally on a mandatory day. This is a new measure to try to control the crowd.

A café is packed with people shiny from humidity and pink from the rigid sun.

In a short walk, it is a beautiful square on which Roberto Zanon spent his entire life, but which he now has to leave.

His landlord sold his home for developers, and the age of 77 is rapidly evicted with his two dogs.

It is impossible to find something else in your hometown, Roberto says. It cannot compete with tourists with higher payment.

“One, two, three doors are locals, but the rest is all for tourism,” Roberta says, pointing to the wooden doors around his square.

“Less and less Venetians here,” he says quietly, deeply upset about the loss of his home. “There’s no longer a goal. You will lose friends. You lose a piece of your heart. But unfortunately this situation does not stop.”

This does not mean that Roberto reflects on the billionaire who chooses Venice for the wedding, remember you.

He worked for many years in tourism and calls it a “pride” to have such famous guests in the city he loves so much. “I find it positive.”

He is not one.

In the souvenir shop, which sell magnets and T-shirts, icy stands for Bezos-Sanchez Bonanza.

She is stupid: “I think there should be more people here as a free. Now we get tourism of garbage, and Venice does not deserve it.”

LEDA had its own store that sold quality Italian goods, but had to close it to adapt to the low content market. “This is inexpensive, tourism that has got into itself,” she says. “People take 20 euros, come here and do nothing. This is not what Venice needs.”

So what will remain if the Great Party is nominated from the city?

The deputy mayor confirmed that the boss of Bezos donated “about three million euros” by groups working on the protection of this fragile water city in support.

As for 30 million euros, the wedding can clean the city in other ways – activists call it a “fall in Lagoon” for one of the richest people on earth.

“This is about three euros for an ordinary person, if you put the proportion of the wealth of Bezos,” Lorenza said out of extinction. “This is a very low amount of money.”
