Venice is divided ahead of next week's celebrity wedding of U.S. tech-tycoon Jeff Bezos and Laura Sanchez, with some looking forward to the glitz and glamour, while others fear it will turn the scenic city of gondolas and palazzi into an amusement park.

Venice residents protest Jeff Bezos’ wedding, highlighting concerns over overtourism, local displacement, and the impact of luxury events on the city’s community and culture.

A protest group is planning for a large demonstration on June 28, towards the end of the Amazon founder's wedding celebration.
