Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ upcoming three-day, $10 million wedding in Venice has drawn attention to the city’s tourism crisis. The event has sparked protests from anti-tourism activists who plan to disrupt the festivities and call for stronger measures to manage visitor numbers. Led by “No Space for Bezos” movement representatives, protesters aim to peacefully block access to Scuola Grande della Misericordia, one of the rumored wedding venues, with inflatable obstacles and encouraging others to join their cause.
