💨 Abstract

In Venice, Italy, protesters marched against Jeff Bezos' lavish wedding, criticizing it as an affront to the city's struggling residents and environment. The event drew celebrities but also highlighted tensions over overtourism, high housing costs, and climate issues. Bezos made environmental donations, but protesters saw this as "greenwashing." The city administration defended the wedding as part of Venice's welcoming tradition.
