Venice Tragedy: Newlyweds Die After Water-Taxi Collision

A Brazilian-born couple, Gabriella Querino (26) and Sean Michieli (25), who had just married three months earlier and were expecting their first child, were killed when their boat collided with a five-ton water taxi in the Venetian Lagoon; Querino's body was recovered after searches hampered by currents, Michieli was taken to hospital and pronounced brain-dead. Authorities are investigating the crash as nautical homicide, with the water taxi driver under investigation; the pair had been fishing for bait for Michieli's work as a clam fisherman when the incident occurred.

Napoleonic-Fort Private Island Near Venice Lists for $7.5M

Crevan, a private island in the Venice lagoon, features a Napoleonic-era fortress that has been converted into a small villa. The property, with an internal canal and two private boat moorings, is listed for $7.5 million by Lionard Luxury Real Estate. Restored in 1996, the island offers four principal rooms and two bathrooms and sits near the islands of Torcello, Murano and Burano, with potential to expand caretaker quarters into a larger home. The fortress was built in 1806 as part of the Venetian Lagoon defense and remained in private residential use after Italy unified in 1866.

Venice braces for protest as US ambassador's mega-yacht visits

Venice activists plan to disrupt a visit by US ambassador Tilman Fertitta aboard his 117‑meter, about $450 million mega‑yacht during the Festa del Redentore, fearing the docking would turn the historic city into a backdrop for wealth. They cite past disruptions of high-profile weddings and raise safety and traffic concerns, adopting the slogan Venezia non si USA. Fertitta’s trip is billed as part of a Coastal Diplomacy 250 tour; officials have been contacted for comment as protesters mobilize.
