## Resource

Venice is preparing for a fiery protest against billionaire US ambassador Tilman Fertitta and his $450 million superyacht, the Boardwalk, set to dock July 17th—just in time to block views of the iconic Festa del Redentore fireworks. Residents, angered by the growing influence of the ultra-rich, see this as a threat to their cultural heritage and public safety, fearing police resources will be diverted to protect Fertitta instead of ensuring the festival’s success. With the slogan “Venezia non si USA,” locals also take aim at Fertitta’s political ties to Trump, adding fuel to tensions amid strained US-Italy relations.
