Two men illegally surfed Venice’s famous Grand Canal, infuriating the mayor of the lagoon city.
On Wednesday afternoon, Mayor Brugnaro finally announced via Twitter in the case of the two surfers: “Here are the two smug idiots who are making a joke out of town. We found them! save them even if our weapons are really blind. We urgently need more powers for mayors in matters of public safety! They will be denounced as they deserve!”
Confiscated surfboards
According to the 60-year-old man, the eFoil plates were confiscated. The conservative politician also called for more power for mayors on public safety issues, Today reported.
In Venice, there are some bans that are particularly dedicated to visitors to the city. With #EnjoyRespectVenezia (enjoy and respect Venice) the city has long asked tourists visiting the Unesco World Heritage Site to behave more responsibly.
Disrespect becomes “expensive”
Anyone who eats or drinks on the floor or sits on monuments is fined from 100 to 200 euros. Swimming or jumping in the water of the canals is also prohibited and can be fined 350 euros. Surfing is also prohibited there.
