Activists have ramped up their "No space for Bezos" campaign after Luigi Brugnaro, Venice's millionaire mayor, confirmed in March that the couple would be getting married in the city.

The locals erected a banner reading "No Bezos" on the bell tower of San Giorgio basilica on the Venetian island of San Giorgio, where the couple is rumoured to be exchanging vows.

According to a report by the NYT, Federica Toninello, a protest organiser, said that one of the venues could be The Misericordia, a former charity turned events hall. But she said that Bezos will never get to the venue. "Bezos will never get to the Misericordia," she said, adding, "We will line the streets with our bodies, block the canals with lifesavers, dinghies and our boats."

Na Haby Stella Faye, another protester, said, "We have a chance to disrupt a ten million dollar wedding - let's do it."

I guess this is a good litmus test for whether it is the locals or money that owns Venoce.
