As Tourists Crowd Out Locals, Venice Faces ‘Endangered’ List
A)
On a recent fall morning, a large crowd blocked the steps at one of Venice’s
main tourist sites, the Rialto Bridge. The Rialto Bridge is one of the four bridges
spanning the Grand Canal. It is the oldest bridge across the canal, and was the
dividing line between the districts of San Marco and San Polo. But on this day, there
was a twist: it was filled with Venetians, not tourists.
the
march
with
helped
organize
B) “People are cheering and holding their carts in the air,” says Giovanni Giorgio,
who
called
Generazione ’90. The carts he refers to are small shopping carts – the symbol of
a true Venetian. “It started as a joke,” he says with a laugh. “The idea was to
put blades on the wheels! You know? Like Ben Hur. Precisely like that, you just go
around and run people down.”
organization
a
grass-roots
C)
Venice is one of the hottest tourist destinations in the world. But that’s a
problem. Up to 90,000 tourists crowd its streets and canals every day – far
outnumbering the 55,000 permanent residents. The tourist increase is one key reason
the city’s population is down from 175,000 in the 1950s. The outnumbered Venetians
have been steadily fleeing. And those who stick around are tired of living in a place
where they can’t even get to the market without swimming through a sea of
picture-snapping tourists. Imagine, navigating through 50,000 people while on the
way to school or to work.
D)
Laura Chigi, a grandmother at the march, says the local and national governments
have failed to do anything about the crowds for decades, because they’re only
interested in tourism – the primary industry in Venice, worth more than $3 billion
in 2015. “Venice is a cash cow,” she says, “and everyone wants a piece.”
Just beyond St. Mark’s Square, a cruise ship passes, one of hundreds every year
E)
that appear over their medieval (中世纪的) surroundings. Their massive wake creates
waves at the bottom of the
sea, weakening the foundations of the centuries-old buildings themselves. “Every
time I see a cruise ship, I feel sad,” Chigi says. “You see the mud it drags; the
destruction it leaves in its wake? That hurts the ancient wooden poles holding up
the city underwater. One day we’ll see Venice break down.”
For a time, UNESCO, the cultural wing of the United Nations, seemed to agree.
F)
Two years ago, it put Italy on notice, saying the government was not protecting Venice.
UNESCO considers the entire city a World Heritage Site, a great honor that means
Venice, at the cultural level, belongs to all of the world’s people. In 2014, UNESCO
gave Italy two years to manage Venice’s flourishing tourism or the city would be
placed on another list – World Heritage In Danger, joining such sites as Aleppo
and Palmyra, destroyed by the war in Syria.
Venice’s deadline passed with barely a murmur (嘟哝) this summer, just as UNESCO
G)
was meeting
in Istanbul. Only one representative, Jad Tabet from Lebanon, tried to raise the
issue. “For several years, the situation of heritage in Venice has been worsening,
and it has now reached a dramatic situation,” Tabet told UNESCO. “We have to act
quickly – there is not a moment to waste.”
H)
But UNESCO didn’t even hold a vote. “It’s been postponed until 2017,” says
Anna Somers, the founder and CEO of The Art Newspaper and the former head of Venice
in Peril, a group devoted to restoring Venetian art. She says the main reason the
U.N. cultural organization didn’t vote to declare Venice a World Heritage Site In
Danger is because UNESCO has become “intensely politicized. There would have been
some back-room negotiations.”
Italy boasts more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country in the world,
I)
granting it considerable power and influence within the organization. The former
head of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, which oversees heritage sites, is Francesco
Bandarin, a Venetian who now serves as UNESCO's assistant director-general for
culture.
Earlier this year, Italy signed an accord with UNESCO to establish a task force
J)
of police art detectives and archaeologists (考古学家) to protect cultural heritage
from natural disasters and
terror groups, such as ISIS. The accord underlined Italy’s global reputation as
