        It was Palermo, apparently, but yes - there were complaints because of some road closures.

        Venice was Bezos.

          I feel like if a town is able to be rented out despite local opposition, it is more a sign that the people complaining about the closures need to get more involved in local politics.

        I hadn’t heard about that but yes, you’re right. I think that kind of thing is vulgar.

        She has stood up for vulnerable people many times, too. Most artists look the other way and count their money.
