The view from the bridge today, however, is more likely to be of a giant billboard selling Bulgari or Coca – cola. Beyond the billboards, monuments are being restored. The money es from advertising profits. But when the Coke billboards went up this summer on buildings near the Piazza San Marco, which is at the historic heart of Venice, there was a public debate. “We can’t mercialize everything,” said Alessandra Mottola Molfino, a Veian. “The lesson that goes out is that a price is for everything.” “We couldn’t stay quiet,” said Maria Camilla Bianchini d’Alberigo, president of a heritage protection association. “Too much is too much.” There needed to be rules, she added, rules that prevent the advertising billboards clashing (沖突 ) with the monuments of the city. City of officials, however, argue that without these ads, the city could not afford to maintain its heritage. Many have been damaged by centuries of wear and are even a threat to public safety. “I can’t turn down the image of bottle when there are pieces of the Palazzo Ducale falling to the ground,” said Renata Codello, a Cultrue Ministry official. The Culture Minister has a budget of about $ 47 million (315 million yuan) for restoration of monuments, but Italy has a rich architectural heritage, and funds are always tight． Of that amount, $ million was given to the entire Vector region, which includes Venice． Two years ago, the city signed an agreement with the Dotter Group, a pany responsible for the restoration of the Bridge of Sighs and the Palazzo Ducale． It allows it to sell ad space． But there is a condition in the agreement: The ads should not offend public taste, In August, Venice banned US actress Julianne Moore39。s daughter to a successful business woman, her life has all the marks of a Hollywood blockbuster.
