Outrage in Venice as Brits banned and fined after swimming in canal | World | News
A 35 -year -old man and 25 -year -old Romanian partner, who lives in the UK, decided to celebrate the end of his holiday in Venice with a dive to the iconic large channel of the city. Double gondolas were identified by the Gondolas and reported to the Italian police.
According to the Italian media, since it was prohibited to swim in any of Venice’s 150 channels, each couple was fined 450 € (£ 390) and ordered Lagoon City to leave 48 hours. The incident called on higher fines for antisocial behaviors and permanent prohibitions from the field of world heritage for rulers. A group known as “Venice Is Disneyland” is currently campaigning against bad behaviors in the city. A few indigenous, double penalties are very low, he said.
Orum I can’t get more than these fools, a woman wrote on their Facebook pages. “They create a mess, wherever we go.”
“For others, this will be an incentive to make themselves virals,” he wrote, one person wrote: ında He should be imprisoned until he pays the fine and then put a plane dressed as in his swimsuits ”.
In 2023, Luigi Brugnaro, the mayor of Venice, was angry after jumping from a 30 -meter building to a channel. Five years ago, tourists jumped from the Redalto Bridge late at night, cheering by their friends.
The Venice officials said that they did more to squeeze their irresponsible stunts of holidaymakers. Since the beginning of the year, the authorities have issued more than 1000 deportation for various types of violations.
“Council management is determined to fight disrespectful and civilian behaviors, because it means protecting Venice, defending the dignity of a unique city in the world and providing decor for both residents and visitors,” he said.
As tourists continue to fall into Lagoon City, a local businessman called an entrance fee to fight what he calls “obscene”, despite the introduction of an entrance fee of £ 4.25 this year. Setrak Tokatzian, President of the Association of Residents of St Mark’s Square, claimed that the city was a “disaster state ve and asked for the accusation to determine the“ rivers of people çıkan every day.
“This tourism is obscene. As it has never been before, there is a kind of human burst that wanders around without entering the shops and even knowing where they are.”
