Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are set to celebrate their wedding in Venice later this month, inviting notable figures such as Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Mick Jagger, and Ivanka Trump. The couple aims to emphasize Venice’s artisanal traditions during the festivities. Approximately 80% of their wedding provisions will come from Venetian vendors, showcasing appreciation for the city. Two historic Venetian companies, Rosa Salva and Laguna B, will contribute artisanal touches to the celebration. Rosa Salva, known for crafting fishermen’s biscuits since 1876, and Laguna B, famous for its handblown Murano glass, will provide unique elements for the event. Despite some protests against the use of Venice as a venue, local business owners express support, highlighting the positive impact on quality tourism. Mayor Luigi Brugnaro praised the choice of Venice as a global stage for the wedding.
