The arrival of billionaire U.S. ambassador Tilman Fertitta in Venice aboard a luxury superyacht triggered protests and police patrols around the lagoon. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in the historic center holding signs such as “Venice must not be used” and “No space for billionaires.” Protesters said the visit highlights American wealth and influence, and they also criticized U.S. policies, including strikes in the region. Police prevented the crowd from approaching the yacht, and tensions rose briefly before settling.
