Hundreds of protesters gathered in Venice on July 17 to oppose the arrival of US Ambassador to Italy Tilman Fertitta, who reached the lagoon city aboard his superyacht. Demonstrators voiced concerns over the growing presence of luxury tourism and mega-yachts in the historic city, as Fertitta's arrival drew fresh attention to debates over wealth, sustainability and the impact of high-end tourism on Venice's fragile ecosystem.
