3. The protest against Bezos wedding was not a tourism protest

There are very real tourism protests in Venice. That wasn't one of them. We shouldn't conflate separate issues.

The tourist issues in Venice (and other parts of Italy) are also very real. Tourism became a neoliberal solution for collapse of prior economic structures, and it has done well for some areas, but it has tons of negative externalities that people are now organizing against.
