The protests have been raging for weeks in the run-up to the wedding, which critics say that the UNESCO World Heritage Site, which has already been flooded by millions of tourists every year, is transformed into a playground for the rich.
Luca Zaia, President of the Veneto region, said the couple had collected their donation to a project that examined the city’s lagoon system from € 1 million to € 2 million.
Bezos and Sánchez will exchange their vows on Friday at a black ceremony on the tiny island of San Giorgio Maggiore, where they are left by Matteo Bocelli, the son of the famous opera singer Andrea Bocelli. On the island there is a basilica full of artistic gemstones, including Tintorettos The Last Supper, an amphitheater and a kilometer long labyrinth.

In the coming days, the celebrations will report a pajama party, a foam party and a great Gatsby Teme event.
