Venice is a city under siege
and over-tourism, they say this year’s effort can succeed where previous attempts have failed.
After a similar cataclysm in 1966, the national government decided to build a series of flood gates capable of closing off the lagoon during unusually high tides. More than five decades and nearly €5 billion in investment later, the project —“It’s obvious the current administration has failed,” said Giorgio Suppiej, a lawyer and member of the civic group Venezia Serenissima.
Across the water, there are many in Mestre who also favor separation. They feel that their needs have been forced to take a backseat to the complex demands of La Serenissima, sucking up most of the council’s time and resources. “A pizzeria in Mestre pays €12,000 a year instead of €4,000 a few kilometers down the road because it has to subsidize the garbage created by the tourists in Venice, without seeing any of the benefits.”On the other side of the debate, the city’s establishment politicians have closed rank against the effort. “Small is beautiful, but big is better,” said Mayor Luigi Brugnaro, who is not affiliated with a political party and is eyeing reelection in the spring.
