Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro posted a video of the surfers zipping past water buses and taxis and promised to buy dinner for anyone who recognized them. In another clip shared on social media, one of the surfers fell off his board under the Accademia Bridge, but made sure to keep his phone out of the water to film his cohort’s exploits. Brugnaro wrote that the suspects were “two authoritarian idiots making a mockery of the city.” The suspects were arrested later that day, fined $1,530 each and kicked out of town. Their expensive electrical boards were also confiscated and they were facing further legal action for tarnishing the city’s image, officials said in a statement. Venice has strict rules governing behavior in its canals and buildings. Swimming in the canals or eating on the steps of the monuments in the roadless city is illegal. Here are two overbearing idiots making a mockery of the City… I am asking everyone to help us track them down to punish them even if our guns are really blunt… we urgently need more powers to the Mayors when it comes to public safety! pic.twitter.com/DV2ONO3hUs — Luigi Brugnaro (@LuigiBrugnaro) August 17, 2022 Two Germans were fined $1,000 by the city in 2019 for making coffee on the famous Rialto Bridge and ordered never to return to the Veneto capital. The city is launching a visitor tax next year to combat over-tourism and offset the cost of providing services to the municipality. Tourists without a hotel room will need to make a reservation and pay $10.50 to gain access to The City of Canals. The vast majority of visitors to Venice do not stay overnight. With Post cables
