The Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte will participate with the ministers De Micheli and D'Incà in the 'general rehearsal' of the Mose in Venice, the bulkheads intended to protect the city from the tides, while environmentalists and committees against large ships in the lagoon prepare a protest. For detractors, the work, which required years of work and huge funding, would be obsolete. The Mose is expected to be completed by December 31, 2021. For the event, the Lagoon has been completely closed to maritime traffic.
A dozen boats gathered in the water space in front of Piazza San Marco for a protest action against the Mose. Watched on sight by police boats, the boats have flags against large ships and against what they call a useless work.
