Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez face backlash for planning their lavish wedding in Venice. Local residents, mobilizing as anti-oligarch protesters, are organizing demonstrations against the event, which they believe is emblematic of how excessive wealth can disrupt the city's accessibility and charm. Protesters, including Federica Toninello, plan to block roads and waterways to impede celebrity guests, arguing that such high-profile events contribute to the commodification and tourist overload in a historic city, turning it into a retreat for the elite at the expense of local community and culture.
One protest organizer, Federica Toninello, emphasized their determination to protest against the lavish wedding, saying they would block access to the city for Bezos and his guests.
The protests, collecting locals' voices, denounce the influence of billionaires on Venice, transforming it from a cultural gem to a playground for the wealthy.
