Venezia – Bacino di
San Marco – Vogliamo Venezia – We Want Venice.
With the cancellation of Gianni Berengo Gardin's exhibition in the Doge’s Palace to
denounce the damage done by the cruiseships in Venice, a large group of
Venetians met on Saturday morning in front of the Doge’s Palace, each with their own
photograph, of cruiseships, to signal their determination to regain control of the destiny of
Venice.

Vogliamo Venezia – We
Want Venice. It was not a demonstration, no flags or symbols, just a meeting of
people from all different backgrounds, with their photos and their indignation.
The initiative marks the launch of an appeal to all Venetians to submit their photos
representing the cruiseship problem. The collection, with the title We Want
Venice, will be sent to the UNESCO Commission for World Heritage Sites which is
due to visit Venice before the end of the year. The aim is to gain UNESCO’s support in
highlighting the role of the city’s residents in choosing what future for
Venice and the Lagoon.
