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.

It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
