Overview
- The three-day ceremony from June 24 to 28 will host about 200 guests with 30 of Venice’s 280 water taxis reserved for wedding transport.
- City officials have stated that regular taxi and public water services will continue uninterrupted and only a handful of hotels will be used.
- Bezos and Sánchez are sourcing roughly 80% of their provisions from Venetian vendors, including pastry maker Rosa Salva and Murano glass studio Laguna B.
- The No Space for Bezos committee has vowed to line streets with bodies and block canals using boats, dinghies and lifesavers during the festivities.
- Mayor Luigi Brugnaro has welcomed the event as an honor for Venice and described protest actions as unrepresentative of the majority of residents.
