Tourist rentals an “hourly disco” in Venice: it’s a clash
These are the crucial groups for those who live on tourist income in Venice. The aid decree in a few days should contain the new rules on tourist rentals in the historic center of Venice and the case breaks out in the city
Tourist rentals
But it is on the remedies that, in recent days, the tussle has been unleashed. Because in Rome, the parliament must examine the aid decree, in which the rules of the game have to be changed. And those who stay in Venice by renting their home run the risk of being able to do so only for a few months a year.
The prefect of Venice lights the fuse
It was the prefect of Venice, Vittorio Zappalorto, who dared to fire the fuse, in a hearing in the chamber on the special law, suggesting laws that allow renting for limited periods, in the name of the social utility of private property sanctioned by the Constitution.
And the deputy Alex Bazzano and the property owners’ unions have risen. Attack on the prefect aside, the proposal to put time constraints on positions for tourists is shared by the Center Left and the Brugnaro Junta, in which there is also the League.
Proposal by the deputy Nicola Pellicani
The deputy Nicola Pellicani presented a proposal in which he asked to make the municipality of a sort of hourly disco. According to the moments of greatest tourist concentration.
The Giunta Brugnaro through the councilor for the budget Michele Zuin, asks for new rules. According to the project drawn up with the mayor of Florence, who is struggling with the same problem and speaks of delays compared to other European countries. In Paris, for example, the maximum allowed for rent is 120 days. In London and Madrid even 90.
Unauthorized
The crux of illegalism still remains. 7 out of 10 accommodations in Venice are invisible to the tax authorities and the municipality when renting. Therefore, even in the presence of rules, without thorough checks, the city still runs the risk of not having accommodation to provide to those who want to reside permanently.
