Star wedding of Jeff Bezos: Venice in a state of emergency!

Venedig, Italien - The wedding celebration of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, which takes place in Venice from Thursday to Saturday, attracts not only prominent guests, but also protests. Around 250 wedding guests are expected, including stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian and many others. The event has an estimated cost framework of up to 48 million euros. A pavilion in the Aman Hotel, a 7-star luxury hotel, was set up to protect the privacy of the guests, while at the same time the places for the celebrations are set up in the arsenale. League chef Massimo Bottura could ensure an opulent dinner on Saturday evening that includes Venetian specialties such as Baccala and Polenta.

In order to protect the secrecy of the celebrations, Bezos has obliged the service providers to sign strict confidentiality agreements. Preparations have already been made in the Aman Hotel under strict confidentiality, with mega-yachts and over 80 private jets from Los Angeles, New York, London and Dubai have already landed at the "Marco Polo" airport.

Despite the festive atmosphere, there are also considerable protests in Venice. Activists from the climate group "Extinction Rebellion" and "No Space for Bezos" express concerns about the effects of super -rich on the environment and the lifestyle of the residents. The protests aim to draw attention to the contribution of the rich to global warming and call for an end to "privatization" and "exploitation" by Venice.

According to the activists, such a large -scale event will disturb the life of the locals and strengthen environmental problems, since Venice has already struggled with the consequences of overtourism that continues to raise the cost of living in the city.

The meaning of the event for Venice

Despite these challenges, the mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, is pleased with the possibility of aligning this event, and emphasizes that it will not lead to a significant disorder among residents. The event has already resulted in the booking of five luxury hotels for the guests, as well as the organization of at least 30 water taxis for transporting within the city.

The encounter of prominence and protests in Venice raises questions about the role of wealth in society as well as the challenges with which tourist destinations are confronted. In view of the stress caused by mass tourism, city tourism in other European cities such as Barcelona also focused on similar protests.
