Venice will charge tourists €10 to visit city
'Bill Gates, who was
recently rebuffed in his bid to buy the historic Danieli hotel in Venice has now settled on one of the best addresses in Rome to build the city’s first six-star hotel, according to purchase records filed with Rome’s City Hall.
'The Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts group that Gates controls through Cascade Investment LLC, along with billionaire Saudi investor Al Waleed bin Talal Al Saud, have put down a $21 million down payment of the $170 million price tag on the Palazzo Marini.'

I wouldn't go back to Italy. Visited in 2016 and the service, the people were mediocre. Visibly fatigued by the throngs of China and Korea nouveaux riches youth with their selfie sticks. So whatever $$ Venice wants to charge or not charge, I'm not bothered.
