Bezos, Sanchez say 'I do' in a divided Venice
VENICE: Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tied the knot Friday at a sumptuous ceremony with the rich and famous on an island in Venice's lagoon, out of the sight and sound of protesters. "This city seems impossible! It can't exist and yet, here it is!" an enchanted Bezos told a La Repubblica journalist Thursday, who got close to the magnate as he whizzed around the canals by boat. But protesters had a different view, questioning how long Venice can endure. While the billionaires party, activists argue the fragile city is sinking, overrun by tourists, and suffering from depopulation as locals, unable to pay soaring rents, are forced out. "No Kings, No Bezos," read a sign in green neon projected onto St Mark's Campanile tower on Thursday night. Sanchez, late Friday, posted a photo on Instagram – under a new name, laurensanchezbezos – showing her in a long, flowing white dress and him in black tie. The image did not indicate where it was taken. Bezos and Sanchez, a former news anchor and entertainment reporter, celebrated their nuptials with guests including Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, and Orlando Bloom. The tech magnate, 61, and Sanchez, 55, are staying at the Aman hotel – a luxury 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal with a view of the Rialto Bridge. Other A-list guests are reportedly staying at the Gritti Palace and the St. Regis. The couple exchanged vows at a black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore Friday afternoon, according to Italian media reports. The wedding is believed to have taken place in a vast open-air amphitheatre on the island, which sits across from Venice's iconic St Mark's Square. The newlyweds were to be serenaded by Matteo Bocelli, son of the famed opera singer Andrea Bocelli, reports said. Michelin-starred chef Fabrizio Mellino prepared the wedding dinner, while the cake was crafted by French pastry chef Cedric Grolet, according to Corriere della Sera. Sanchez is said to have prepared 27 outfits for the festivities. Wedding guests snapped by paparazzi as they hopped into boats included Jordan's Queen Rania, French luxury goods executive Francois-Henri Pinault, American football player Tom Brady, US fashion designer Spencer Antle, singer Usher, and Ivanka Trump – daughter of US President Donald Trump – along with her husband Jared Kushner. Guests reportedly lunched Thursday in the gardens of Villa Baslini, on the islet of San Giovanni Evangelista. The celebrations are set to conclude Saturday, with a party likely to be held at the Arsenale – a vast shipyard complex dating back to the city's naval heyday. Bezos and Sanchez are donating three million euros (US$3.5 million) to the city, according to Veneto's regional president Luca Zaia, and are employing historic Venetian artisans. Venice's oldest pastry maker, Rosa Salva, is baking 19th-century "fishermen's biscuits" for party bags, which will also include items by Laguna B – renowned for its handblown Murano glass. Trump and her family visited a glass-blowing workshop on the small island of Murano on Wednesday, according to the owner. "They were amazed and enchanted by the magic of glass," said Massimiliano Schiavon to Corriere della Sera, adding that the family even had a go at blowing glass themselves. Venice – home to the oldest film festival in the world – is no stranger to VIPs whizzing around in speed boats, and it famously hosted the star-studded nuptials of Hollywood actor George Clooney in 2014. Some say this wedding, too, brings good business. Italy's tourism ministry said Friday it expects the wedding to bring the city nearly one billion euros, with about 895 million of that estimated to come from the "media visibility" generated. But critics argue Bezos – one of the world's richest men and founder of a company regularly scrutinised for its treatment of workers – is a different case. "Tax Billionaires," read protest signs along the canals. "In the time it takes you to read this, Jeff Bezos's wealth has increased by more than your monthly salary," the signs read in English and Italian. Environmental activists have also pointed to the carbon footprint of the mega yachts and the dozens of private jets – at least 95 – that brought the rich and famous to the city. Still, not everyone is complaining. Samuel Silvestri, a 55-year-old salesman, welcomed the extravaganza. "Over-tourism is caused by those people who come with a backpack and their own food, and contribute very little," he said. "Not those who transform Venice into a mini-Monte Carlo. This marriage helps the image of the city." Italy's health ministry has issued a red heat alert for Venice for the weekend, part of a heatwave affecting much of southern Europe.
