It won’t be a sign of defiance, but rather a sign of compromise as the city prepares the new temporary cruise ship port in decidedly unpicturesque Marghera. The area used to be a swamp in fact the name means “the sea was here” and now it houses an oil refinery and several other industrial plants which might not be what cruise ship passengers are expecting when they dock in Venice. The passengers would then take the train or smaller boats into historical Venice, about 20 minutes away.

Venice still magical as tourist-free carnival kicks off amid the novel coronavirus pandemic

ARTS / CULTURE & LEISURE By AFP Published: Feb 08, 2021 06:58 PM Sumptuously dressed couples promenaded around St Mark s Square in the swirling fog as Venice kicked off its celebrated carnival this weekend -without the usual crowds of tourists, absent due to the pandemic.  It s totally surreal, said 47-year-old carnival-goer Chiara Ragazzon, an office worker. What hits me most is the silence. You ve always been able to hear music during the carnival, people having fun. But Venice in the fog - it s still a magical place. Ragazzon and her husband had ventured into Venice from their home around 50 kilometers away. Italy relaxed its coronavirus restrictions on Monday, allowing greater freedoms in most regions.
