Alternative Venice

Venice could so fuck with the world one day. A day, when they decide not to let any tourists into the city. Only citizens could stay and work there. Only gondoliƩrs would shop at the expensive designer shops, vendors from the fish-market would sit at the coffee houses after work, only the museologist girl with the nice ass would be walking along the shore of the Canal Grande. No Bollywood shooting teams, noone buys tickets to go on the vaporetto and not one person would stop at The Bridge of Sighs to take photos. A lot of people would enter The Doge's Palace for the first time in their lives to see the exhibition. A lot of people would photograph themselves with their wives while leaning on the rail of a bridge for the first time in their lives. A lot of people would notice for the first time in their lives that the tower of the nearest temple really is slanting.
It would be weird. Weird, but nice.
