On Wednesday, other activists launched a float down the Grand Canal featuring a mannequin of Bezos clinging onto an Amazon box, his fists full of fake dollars. The British publicity firm that announced the stunt said it wasn’t a protest of the wedding “but against unchecked wealth, media control, and the growing privatisation of public spaces.”

Activists with Greenpeace, No Space for Bezos, and a UK-based group called Everyone Hates Elon have all been making their displeasure known this week, with a large banner unfurled in St. Mark’s Square reading, “If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax.”

Greenpeace has joined the protests against Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s upcoming Venice wedding by unfurling a huge banner in St. Mark's Square.
