Venice, Italy will introduce a tax for day trippers to enter the city.
Italian correspondent Jo McKenna tells Roman Travers the tax’s introduction could cause chaos due to the lack of awareness about it. Day trippers can register online, stating their intention to go to Venice. The tax will cost New Zealand visitors €10 per person.
Meanwhile, a 13 month old baby boy has been killed by two pitbull terriers in the southern Italian town of Campo Longo sparking calls for more serious controls around dogs.
And, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni has addressed the European Conservatives and Reformists caucus ahead of the EU elections in June. Meloni has said they must “defend our nations”.
Strongly aligned with Spain’s Vox party, the French Reconquest party and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party, Meloni is looking for a strong sweep of the right wing when the EU elections take place.
