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.
