Appreciate the thought, but apparently
Boat traffic on the Grand Canal was halted on Saturday during the protest, and the canal water and the recently restored columns on the Rialto Bridge had to be checked on safety grounds, the mayor said.
That's enough to piss me off, I think I WILL go on a warpath
I understand the reason why they pull stunts like this and share their concerns for the environment, but the methods these activists use (blocking majour traffic ways, vandalizing monuments, albeit temporarily) really isn't the way to go. All you accomplish with stunts like this is antagonizing even those who otherwise would have supported you.
Since they started messing with our art, I have yet to meet a single Italian who is sympathetic towards these activists (aside from other activists, of course).
