ROME -- Some 800 demonstrators have taken to the streets of Venice on Thursday to protest the city’s new entry ticket. On Italy’s Liberation Day, the citizens of Venice fought for their freedom once again against measures introducing a daily access ticket which would control the flow of people entering the city. Gathering at Ponte della Libertà, demonstrators were equipped with placards, leaflets, and satirical tickets, the word freedom, fittingly, adorned many of their signs.
