Italy has finally banned large cruise ships from Venice to protect the Floating city from Damage (but only after Michael Douglas and Cate Blanchett sign letter of protest.
Large cruise ships will finally be barred from Venice’s Historic centre, the Italian Government has confirmed.
The huge liners dubbed the Skyscrapers of the sea can currently pass within 1,000ft of the iconic St Mark’s Square, granting a stunning view to those aboard.
Now Italian minsters have reached the unanimous decision to stop liners of over 96,000 tonnes from sailing in saint Mark’s basin and the giudecca canal the waterway which separates the main core of Venice from the separate island of giudecca, immediately to the south.
What will this mean now for Venice and the cruise lines. Do you think in a couple of years when Venice starts having hard times as not as many people are travelling there they will regret what they’ve done.
What’s your thoughts on this do you think it’s good decision.
