Twenty years ago give or take I and the former One were on our way to joining friends for a vacation in Croatia, and we had planned a stopover in Venice. Two short days in La Serenissima gave us a impressive glimpse at what she has to offer and hadn't it been for the overcrowded canals and alleyways, it could have turned into a Stendhal syndrome.
The pigeons once were Venice's most dreadful threat, but anyone who once crawled a crowd of people wearing lycra shorts and flip-flops, taking close-up photos of themselves in front of whatever magestuous building knows how nightmarish such a splendid place can become.
So The Hell Yes! I fully approve of that forthcoming measure. I may even add: It's about time.

It is on my list. But I won't be going. The city doesn't need another tourist.
