minus-squarethethirdobject@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·9 months agoIt’s an emblem of Venice, whether you like it or not. Things have a symbolic value separated from their historical or financial value. Also, the people of Venice aren’t a homogeneous entity, they encompass various opinions, values, etc. Finally, things aren’t black or white. People of Venice can rely on some kind of tourism while not wanting to be invaded by disrespectful tourists. This cynic’s stance is lame.
