What we know about the “wedding of the century”, which will take place next week. Some Venetians are very upset: “He thinks he can turn the city into his private party”

Venice is divided into two camps before next week's wedding in the American tycoon Magnate Jeff Bezos with journalist Laura Sanchez, some looking forward to seeing the luxury and splendor of the event, while others are afraid to turn the picturesque city of gondolas and palaces into a fun park.

Many details about the wedding are still secret, including the exact date it will take place, but it is certain that dozens of celebrities in the world of film, fashion and business will come to see Bezos getting married, if the US billionaire will pass the protesters.

A local group has stuck banners on the famous Rialto bridge in the city with the message “There is no room for Bezos!” And he threatened with peaceful blockages, claiming that the medieval and Renaissance city needs public services and housing, not excessive stars and tourism.

“Bezos arrogantly believes that he can take control of the city and transform him into his private party,” said Tommaso Caccireari, one of the leaders of the campaign “There is no place for Bezos.”

On the other hand, Mayor Luigi Brugnaro and regional governor Luca claim that the wedding will bring economic benefits to local affairs, including boats and gondolas circulating on the many channels of the city.

Eighteen years ago, actor George Clooney married the lawyer for human Aamuddin in Venice, turning the city into a Hollywood with an enduary weekend.

Then, both locals and tourists were delighted to attend a memorable moment in the long history of the city to host the stars coming to its film festival, the oldest in the world.

Bezos, 61 years old, the founder of the Amazon electronic trade giant and the third richest man in the world, was engaged with the 55 -year -old journalist, four years after his 25 -year marriage to Mackenzie Scott.

After a series of speculation in the media on the place of the “wedding of the century”, as it was nicknamed, Brugnaro confirmed in March that it will take place in Venice, which last year began to perceive tourists to enter the city.

The date is expected to be somewhere between June 23 and 28, during three days of style full of style.

In front of the initial protests of the inhabitants, who feared the arrival of thousands of celebrities and admirers, the City Hall intervened to clarify that there will be 200 guests and that the wedding will not disturb the daily life of the Venetians.

Bezos and Scott had four children together, while Sanchez was previously married to Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell, with whom he has two children. She also has a son with Tony Gonzalez, NFL American football player.

It is estimated that the list of guests will have less than 200 people, including first -rate stars like Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom and even Trump family members, writes Daily Mail.

The chief of Amazon has booked the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, one of the largest and most imposing buildings in the historical center of Venice, as part of the extravagant festivities that will last several days.

According to a source of the British tabloid, Bezos, Koru, worth $ 500 million, will be anchored off the coast of San Georgio Maggiore, which hosts the famous San Giorgio Maggiore, a Benedictine church from the sixteenth century.

The source revealed that the island will be “forbidden to visitors” on June 24-29, the mayor considering that the wedding will take place on the yacht, although Misericodria, a representative space in Venice, was reserved on June 26-28.

It is not clear whether the space is related to their wedding, but the source added that it is said that a private transport service will take guests from the island to the yacht.
