Two people disguised as “bride and groom” stood on a pedestal. A young man and a young woman tried to climb two of the flag masts in front of the basilica. They were stopped by the security forces and brought to a police inspection to determine identity. They made passive resistance by laying on the floor, as can be seen on video recordings.
Bezo’s tripled donation for Venice
Amazon founder, who arrived in Venice on Wednesday, and his future wife spent the night on Thursday in the luxury hotel Aman. Against the wedding of the superlative with more than 200 invited guests, protest actions had been announced days ago. In order to smooth the waves, Bezos has tripled his originally promised donation for Venice to three million euros.
The couple was flown to Venice on Wednesday by private and then transferred to the city center by boat via the lagoon. For security reasons, BEIS has dispensed with an arrival with his luxury yacht “Koru”. In the coming days, several receptions and gala dinner will be planned for prominent guests. For them, the couple fully booked the five most exclusive hotels in the city.
