A Lower House committee has given the
OK to a measure that would enable the city of Venice to impose
limits on the number of properties being rented out as holiday
homes.
The aim is to ensure there is a balance between the number of
tourists in the city and the number of people living there long
term in order to preserve Venice's character.
The measure was presented as amendment to a government decree to
help people cope with the cost-of-living crisis.
Venice Budget Chief Michele Zuin, meanwhile, said Friday that
the city would start making people book in advance to visit on
an experimental basis in August and then start imposing an entry
fee as of January 16, 2023.
