Venetian activists say they are planning a boisterous but peaceful protest during this weekend’s wedding between multi-billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice

Protesters in Venice are claiming an "enormous victory" after US tech billionaire Jeff Bezos and his wedding guests were forced to "run away" from the city centre, moving their main celebration to another location.

In light of ongoing protests from Venice locals, the Bezos-Sánchez wedding ceremony has been moved to an “isolated, less accessible” location within the city, reported Reuters. The new location is considered more secure than in Misericordia, a former religious school, where the ceremony was widely rumored to take place.
