entrepreneur who owns the NBA\u2019s Houston Rockets, announced earlier this month he was traveling the Italian coast to celebrate America\u2019s 250<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary with business leaders, politicians, and other officials from 13 coastal regions of Italy.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The tour began in Civitavecchia near Rome on June 13 with stops scheduled in Naples, Genoa, Palermo, and Cefal\u00f9, where Fertitta\u2019s family traces its roots. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Now it\u2019s been revealed that Fertitta and his <i>Boardwalk<\/i> \u2014 a 380-foot superyacht featuring six decks, two helipads, two swimming pools, and a beach club \u2014 will be stopping in Venice next month for one of the city\u2019s most important annual festivals.<\/p>\n<p>The move has drawn the ire of a city still smarting from Jeff Bezos\u2019s lavish 2025 wedding, The Times of London reported.<\/p>\n<p>The timing also couldn\u2019t be more awkward considering the bizarre feud that engulfed Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni following last week\u2019s G7 meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is about the exploitation of Venice,\u201d said Federica Toninello of Laboratorio Occupato Morion, a group that protested the Bezos wedding, in an interview with The Times. \u201cFlaunting that level of wealth is a slap in the face to people who are increasingly struggling to make ends meet and find a home in Venice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The group is meeting this week to decide how to protest Fertitta\u2019s arrival, which a U.S. embassy source told the Times would coincide with the Festa del Redentore on July 18 and 19. <\/p>\n<p>The annual celebration commemorates the city\u2019s liberation from a devastating plague in 1577, and features fireworks and a floating bridge of barges spanning the Grand Canal. <\/p>\n<p>Toninello said residents are considering staging marches, hanging banners from bridges, and blocking canals to oppose Fertitta\u2019s visit. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a

<\/i>would be able to moor, since some major waterways will be closed for the festival. <\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has reached out to the U.S. Embassy in Rome for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Last June, Bezos and his future wife Lauren S\u00e1nchez spent an estimated $50 million to stage a multi-day event for about 200 to 250 guests at historic sites across the floating city. <\/p>\n<p>They were met with widespread protests, including a giant banner of the Amazon\u2019s chief face that was captioned, \u201cIf you can rent Venice for your wedding then you can pay more tax.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Besides Venetians\u2019 frustration with their city being used as a staging ground for ostentatious displays of wealth, Toninello questioned whether it really made sense to celebrate Italy-U.S. relations, as Fertitta has claimed his trip aims to do. <\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Trump infuriated Meloni by telling an Italian journalist she had \u201cbegged\u201d him for a photo at the G7 summit in Paris. <\/p>\n<p>The Italian premier responded in a video statement that Trump\u2019s claims were completely made-up, and called on him to stop his \u201cconstant\u201d and \u201csenseless\u201d attacks against his allies. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cItaly and I never beg,\u201d she said, prompting Trump to double down on his G7 photo story and complain about Italy\u2019s refusal to support the president\u2019s deeply unpopular war in Iran. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>On Thursday, Fertitta insisted to reporters aboard his yacht that Italy and the U.S. have a historic relationship that will continue, and that the dust-up between Trump and Meloni was just a \u201csmall hitch.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2259\">Liberal Justice Delivers Blistering Dissent to
