Venice has been known as "La Serenissima", This is a city for the world. Everyone knows about this city, and those who have visited understand her magic. The city of Venice and its residents have experienced an increase of tourism over the past 30 years. Cruise ships wreak havoc with pollution, large waves and dumping thousands of tourists into the city for a day trip that create more trash than they contribute. The nature of this tourism has caused substantial damage to the residents by escalating the cost of living, making it very difficult to live there. Corporations are buying up apartments and turning them into rentals. Individual owners of apartments can't compete with the high rental prices for residents only. This is displacing the residents and the population is going away. Venice is dying a long slow death and the resident population has now dropped to under 50k from its former 164k in the 1970s. By the end of 2019, the city and its people were desperate to find a fix to the dilemma… then Covid-19 hit. There were very little visitors and the people liked what they saw. They want an opportunity to change things and get everything back the way it should be. In order to do that, its base must be built back so it is self-sustaining regardless of tourism. This organization will buy and repair buildings and make them residents and businesses for authentic craftsmen again. They will be offered at normal rental prices to increase the city population and help it grow. As a nonprofit organization, this is the only way to give the city back to the people. There is no other way to fix this problem. This is a massive project and will require large amounts of donations. Please spread the word while we assemble this organization and start receiving donations.
