Italy: Venice cruise liner row escalates A row in Venice over the cruise liners that clog the city’s canals has intensified, with supporters planning a rally to defend tourism and opponents saying the ships are turning the area into Disneyland. Two cruise ships a day currently sail down Venice’s narrow Giudecca canal, offering passengers spectacular views as they tower over St Marks Square but, according to protesters, polluting the delicate eco system of the lagoon and shaking the fragile foundations of the city. Local demonstrators who took to the Giudecca canal in small boats in September were confronted by a heavy police presence and buzzed by a police helicopter. In response to their protest, port workers will meet at Venice’s cruise ship port on Tuesday in solidarity with the two million tourists who arrive on 650 ships annually. (via guardian.co.uk)
