During the Committee for Public Order and Safety, the devices already prepared for the historic center of Venice and the so-called “red zones” of Mestre and Marghera were confirmed. This was announced by the Security Assessor Elisabetta Pesce, emphasizing how these tools have already proven to be “effective and decisive in preventing and combating phenomena such as pickpocketing.”
VENICE. The so-called red zones, introduced and successfully tested during the Carnival period, will therefore continue to be active in the coming days, in conjunction with a holiday calendar that foresees a high tourist presence and a significant influx of people in the city.
Reinforced security during holidays and access contribution days
The security device will be strengthened on the days when the access fee to the historic center is active, a measure introduced to manage tourist flows and protect urban livability. On these days, a widespread presence in the area will be guaranteed: municipal operators, inspectors, and a significant number of Local Police officers will be deployed to ensure public order, prevent crimes, and guarantee the peace of mind for residents and visitors.
“Urban security is a priority for the Administration – declared councilor Pesce – and these devices, which have already proven their effectiveness, are a fundamental tool to protect people and enhance our territory. We work daily for a balance between hospitality and respect for rules, between protecting the decorum and livability for those who live and work in Venice”.
A prevention model to be strengthened
The adopted operating model – which integrates physical presence with collaboration between institutions, law enforcement, and local operators – is considered an example to be consolidated even in the future, especially during periods of high tourist influx. The city is thus preparing to face the coming weeks with a strengthened and structured security plan, based on experience and synergy.
“Acting preventively and in a coordinated manner – added Pesce – is the key to ensuring a safe, inclusive, and welcoming city, capable of facing the challenges related to tourism and urban livability. I thank all the forces involved in this shared effort.”
