A)?On?a?recent?fall?morning,?a?large?crowd?blocked?the?steps?at?one?of?Venice's?main?touristsites,?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?SanMarco?and?San?Polo.?But?on?this?day,?there?was?a?twist:?it?was?filled?with?Venetians,?nottourists.

\"People?are?cheering?and?holding?their?carts?in?the?air,\"?says?Giovanni?Giorgio,?who?helpedorganize?the?march?with?a?grass-roots?organization?called?Generazione?'90.?The?carts?herefers?to?are?small?shopping?carts—the?symbol?of?a?true?Venetian. \"It?started?as?a?joke,\"?hesays?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.\"

D)?Laura?Chigi,?a?grandmother?at?the?march,?says?the?local?and?national?governments?havefailed?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.\"

\"For?several?years,?the?situation?of?heritage?in?Venice?has?been?worsening,?and?it?h

K)?But?adding?Venice?to?the?UNESCO?endangered?list—which?is?dominated?by?sites?indeveloping?and?conflict-ridden?countries—would?be?an?international?embarrassment,?andcould?even?hurt?Italy's?profitable?tourism?industry.?The?Italian?Culture?Ministry?says?it?isunaware?of?any?government?efforts?to?pressure?UNESCO.?As?for?the?organization?itself,?itdeclined?a?request?for?an?interview.
