Since the 1940s, southern California
has had a reputation for smog. Things are not
as
bad
as
they
once
were
but,
according
to
the
American
Lung
Association,
Los
Angeles is still the worst city in the
United States for levels of

down on

As
Tourists Crowd Out Locals, Venice Faces
‘
Endangered
’
List
A) On a recent fall morning, a
large crowd blocked the steps at one of
Venice
’
s main
tourist sites, the Rialto Bridge. The
Rialto Bridge is one of the four bridges spanning
the Grand Canal. It is the oldest
bridge across the canal, and was the dividing line
between the districts of San Marco and
San Polo. But on this day, there was a twist: it
was tilled with Venetians, not
tourists.
B)
“
People are cheering and
holding their carts in the
air,
”
says Giovanni Giorgio,
who
helped organize the march with a
grass-roots organization called Generazione
’
90.
The carts he
refers to are small shopping
carts
—
the symbol of a true
Venetian.
“
It
started as a
joke,
”
he says with a laugh.
“
The idea was to put blades
on the wheels!
You
know?
Like
Ben
Hur.
Precisely
like
that,
you
just
go
around
and
run
people
down.
”
C) Venice is one of the
hottest tourist destinations in the world. But
that
’
s a problem.
Up to 90,000 tourists crowd its streets
and canals every day
—
far
outnumbering the
55,000
permanent
residents.
The
tourist
increase
is
one
key
reason
the
city
’
s
population is down from 175,000 in the
1950s. The outnumbered Venetians have
been steadily fleeing. And those who
stick around are tired of living in a place where
they
can
’
t
even
get
to
the
market
without
swimming
through
a
sea
of
picture-snapping tourists. Imagine,
navigating through 50,000 people while on the
way to school or to work.
D) Laura Chigi, a grandmother at the
march, says the local and national governments
have
failed
to
do
anything
about
the
crowds
for
decades,
because
they
’
re
only
interested in
tourism
—
the primary industry
in Venice, worth more than $$3 billion in
2015.
“
Venice is
a cash cow,
”
she says,
“
and everyone wants a
piece.
”
E) Just beyond St.
Mark
’
s Square, a cruise ship
passes, one of hundreds every year that
appear
over
their
medieval
(
中世纪的
)
surroundings.
Their
massive
wake
creates
waves
at
the
bottom
of
the
sea,
weakening
the
foundations
of
the
centuries-old
buildings themselves.
“
Every time I see a cruise
ship, I feel sad,
”
Chigi
says.
“
You see
the
mud
it
drags;
the
destruction
it
leaves
in
its
wake?
That
hurts
the
ancient
wooden
poles
holding
up
the
city
underwater.
One
day
we
’
ll
see
Venice
break
down.
”
F) For a time, UNESCO, the
cultural wing of the United Nations, seemed to
agree. Two
years ago, it put Italy on
notice, saying the government was not protecting
Venice.
UNESCO considers the entire
city a World Heritage Site, a great honor that
means
Venice, at the cultural level,
belongs to all of the
world
’
s people. In 2014,
UNESCO
gave Italy two years to manage
Venice
’
s flourishing tourism
or the city would be
placed on another
list
—
World Heritage In
Danger, joining such sites as Aleppo and
Palmyra, destroyed by the war in Syria.
G)
Venice
’
s deadline passed
with barely a
murmur
(
嘟哝
) this summer, just as
UNESCO
was meeting in Istanbul. Only
one representative, Jad Tabet from Lebanon, tried
to
raise
the
issue.
“
For
several
years,
the
situation
of
heritage
in
Venice
has
been
worsening, and it has now reached a
dramatic situation,
”
Tabet
told UNESCO.
“
We
have to act quickly, there is not a
moment to waste.
”
H) But UNESCO
didn
’
t even hold a vote.
“
It
’
s
been postponed until 20l7,
”
says Anna
Somers, the founder and CEO
of
The Art Newspaper
and the
former head of Venice
in Peril, a group
devoted to restoring Venetian art. She says the
main reason the U.N.
cultural
organization didn
’
t vote to
declare Venice a World Heritage Site In Danger
is because UNESCO has become
“
intensely politicized.
